Well put. I know there are better drummers than Neil but I could never put my finger on what it was that made him different. Ideas, lyrics, and composition and structure.
You have a interesting perspective on that. I never thought about this as a drummer, from this point of view. It is true, the drumming in Rush's compositions it is the structure, like chords.
Geddy started out as Gary. His grandmother had a thick accent so when she spoke his name it sounded like Geddy. I always wondered where his name came from if you know what I mean. My friends I used to pronounce Neil's name wrong as well, Pert rather than Peart. Alex's name, Lifeson, is the meaning of his actual full last name which I don't have handy or I would include it here. The name Rush came from John Rutsey's (did I spell that correctly?) brother. One of my all time favorite instrumentals I can never remember how to spell, La Villa Str******. It means strange village, I believe, and was inspired by a dream or nightmare Alex experienced. These are things I've picked up here and there since about 1980 when I started to listen to Rush. I just turned 59. It's cool to Rush it just don't be in a hurry. Some of their songs are half an album long. RIP Neil. Save me a good seat please, I'd like to shake your hand
Hello, just want to recommend some editing. If your mic isn't set correctly, adjust it and start the script over. Then edit. If you hiccup or burp, go back and edit it out. I made it almost three minutes, because I like the topic and your insight. And this is why I won't continue watching.

P “ear” t.
As Geddy has demonstrated when asked about the pronunciation.
In English there’s hardly a direct link between pronunciation and spelling. Even less so in names. Compare ‘Dalziel’.

There is no script. Way too lazy for that
