The guy was one of the greats.

What a difficult yet graced life.

Fuck YOU, cancer.

This is one of my favorites.

    He certainly had a lot of pain while on this Earth but brought so much art to so many admirers.  RIP.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I too have never seen Rush, would have been nice.  My other regret is never seeing REM, I think that ship has sailed as well.

    I was so sad when I heard of this. I developed a bit of a bromance for him over the last five years. Was never a big Rush fan... couldn't stand Geddy Lee's voice lol. But with the advent of some incredible documentaries on the band, whereby I got to feel "invited" into their lives a little bit, I began a small journey of admiration for the band, specifically for Neil. He's a motorcycle junkie, like myself. And when I learned of his sons death and how he dealt with it, it was then when I started to feel my heart strings becoming connected to him and his brothers in Rush.
    67 years old... brain cancer... fuck.... can't stand it. He came across as such a rad dude. 
    RIP to the man. By many accounts, the greatest drummer of all time. 
    By my own account... just a sweet ass dude.

    And his lyrics!  Red Barchetta is among my favorites.
