I just learned of his passing from Keiths post, and my heart is broken.
The man is a legend. RUSH is tied with my other top 2 favorite bands. I only saw them once in concert, but at least I saw them, and it was after I moved back home recently.
My favorite album is A Farewell to Kings. I remember being at the door of Tower Records when they opened so I could grab the new album. Out of ALL of the hundreds of albums from back then, its one of the 3 or 4 I have left.
I'd sit in my room with the headphones on getting stoned when I was a teen, and let RUSH wisk me away to other worlds.
He was way way too young.
Thank you for everything Neil. You'll never be forgotten.
@spliffhammer Not trying to steal your wonderful idea. Was just the only way I could think of to tribute, other than Neil cruising down the road on his bike. But probably most don't know about that.

Well Dragon, I knew about the Motorcycle thing....
Someone on the radio said, "If there was a Mount Rushmore of Music, he'd be on it!" Besides the great pun, and apt statement for one of the greatest, if not the greatest Musician and Lyricist of all time!!
The First LP I ever had was 2112... To this day I still listen to it.
