Rush was the band that first got me into classic rock when I was a kid. Before I ever heard Zep, ACDC, or Jimi, I heard Free Will on the radio and it changed my taste in music forever.

In my opinion Red Barchetta is the best song about a car ever. The song was inspired by the short story “ A Nice Morning Drive”, by Richard Foster for Road & Track magazine. The  futuristic dystopia where cars are illegal always fascinated me and the song really takes you along for the ride.

RIP Neil, you music will live on forever

I’m really bummed about the news of his passing.

Long ago I bought this album for this song, turns out the rest of it is pretty good, too.

Love Rush, I read all of Peart’s books too. The way Alex and Geddy kind of joked about the state of the band gave no indication of the battle Neil was facing. I’m quite sad that he’s gone.
