Your welcome. Neil and Rush have had a tremendous place in my heart for a very long time. Wish I didn't have to write the tribute for another 30 years! But sadly, "we're only immortal, For a limited time" - Peart - Dreamline - Rush.Thanks to Space.com and Steve Spaleta for providing this stellar remembrance on a most appropriate platform--let it be an enduring vehicle to carry his legacy forward--and thanks to Neil for living and sharing his life--shine on.
I didn't know the backstory on that song, thanks for sharing!Afterimage was written as a tribute to an engineer and friend of the band who died back in the 80's . So sad the end has come to one of my favorite bands. RIP Neil and i am so sick of cancer.
Thanks! I assumed a lot of Space.com fans were Rush fans as well, so I am happy that it was able to reach you. This story and so many other tributes from publications and social media were widely viewed. A true testament of Neil's incredible talent and contribution to society. You will be missed Neil but your legacy will live on!So glad to see my favorite space website honoring my favorite drummer.
Neil was the absolute best, hands down. RIP brother
