He was one of a kind in more ways than just his musicianship. I've never read any of his books, I would like to do that sometime as well.

I was inspired to pick up a copy of "Ghost Rider" after reading that article. He was a wonderful writer, though I think it wil make me very sad. I don't deal.well with loss.

Good read..it captured something.
I really liked this particular passage:
(“You can do a lot in a lifetime,” he wrote in the lyrics to “Marathon,” one of Rush’s most powerful songs, “if you don’t burn out too fast.”) That was one of his signatures as a drummer, too, cramming an improbable amount of rhythmic information into each bar of music; he made his living by pushing the limits of time.

I finished Ghost Rider earlier this week, and I was wrong about it making me sad: it's more about healing and hope.
I can't imagine losing my entire family within 10 months. I am not sure that I would survive it. But he did, and had a good second act. I certainly would want to run away from wherever I was.
