Neil Peart passed away on 1/7/2020. I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said about his influence. I'm shocked and saddened, but one of the greatest lines he wrote is found in the song "Headlong Flight": "I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today." I can't explain why, but it seems oddly appropriate. My condolences to Mr. Peart's family, band members and everyone else out there who were influenced/touched by his greatness. He meant so much to so many, transcending his drum work. The photo I'm (re)posting was shot on my phone during the @rush R40 concert in Phoenix in 2015. It's not a great photo, but it's from a memorable night when three gents from Canada played their hearts out for thousands of fans. That concert, if I'm not mistaken, was their third to last. I've been fortunate enough to see Rush perform six times (2004, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2015) I am grateful for his lyrics and for the band's music, which got me through so many tough times in my life that I've lost count. My mother used to play Moving Pictures on cassette in the car when I was young. I didn't appreciate Rush's music until years later, as a surly high schooler in suburban Phoenix listening to "Subdivisions" on @933kdkb (back when they played classic rock) while driving the same car in which my mother played #movingpictures all those years ago. Listening to "Subdivisions" way back in 2001 was the first time, I "got it." This band opened up an entirely new perspective toward life that I hadn't realized was possible and offered me a new way to view a world I didn't always understand. As I've grown older, Mr. Peart's humanistic lyrics were a guiding force for how to better learn not only about myself, but the people and world around me. The first Rush album I ever purchased (probably to Mr. Peart's chagrin) was Chronicles, a greatest hits compilation. Over time, I accumulated all of their studio and live albums on CD (I'm a child of the 1980s). Thank you for everything, Mr. Peart. Your music touched and influenced millions. #rush #rushband #neilpeart #thankyou #ripneilpeart #ripneil @geddyimages #alexlifeson #subdivisions #r40 #rushfamily #rushfans (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KjcRMHiDs/?igshid=1q3c41the4x3m

Game Of Thrones : Neil Fingleton, le géant de la série, est mort
L’acteur et ancien basketteur Neil Fingleton est mort. Il est décédé d’une insuffisance cardiaque à seulement 36 ans. Si son nom n’évoque peut-être rien au premier abord, Neil Fingleton n’était pourtant pas totalement inconnu, surtout pour les fans de la série Game Of Thrones. Il y incarnait en effet le géant Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg. Du haut de ses 2m32, il faut dire qu’il avait la composition physique nécessaire pour un tel rôle ! Sa taille faisait par ailleurs de lui l’un des hommes les plus grands du monde, et explique en partie la cause de son décès. Thank you and goodbye Neil Fingleton who portrayed Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg or Mag the Mighty :( #RIPNeil #MagTheMighty pic.twitter.com/PWeK91EBHX— Game of Thrones. (@GoT_HBO) 26 février 2017 Après une honnête carrière de basketteur professionnel – il a évolué en Chine, en Grèce, en Anglette, en Espagne et en Italie – il avait fait le grand saut vers le cinéma et la télévision à partir de 2011. Spécialisé dans les blockbusters, Neil Fingleton a ainsi vu son nom apparaître au générique d’ Avengers , de X-Men : Le Commencement , de 47 Ronin ou de Jupiter Ascending, avant d’intégrer le casting de la célèbre série télévisée. Triste nouvelle à quelques mois seulement du lancement de la saison 7 , toujours très attendue.À voir : Les scènes hot de Game Of Thrones QP... Retrouvez cet article sur Public
