  So difficult to watch him struggle with Neil's passing.   Geddy you are not alone, we are all still mourning this loss.

  Geddy’s silence when talking about Neil…it’s painful, because it’s love. Grief is love with nowhere to go. The book is absolutely fantastic. Thanks Geddy, Alex and Neil. ❤

  I have to admit, when he paused to compose himself when talking about Neil, I lost it.  What an amazing man with an incredible story to tell.  Thank you, Geddy!

  Can you even imagine the enthusiasm of Neil as a school librarian!? I guarantee every kid loved Mr. Peart.

  This is probably one of the best interviews I have ever seen/heard. &nbsp;Kudos to Tom for handling such sensitive topics with such care…..well done mate.

  I will never get over the loss of Neil and the loss of Rush but I&apos;m so thankful I had them both in my life for so long.

  Your empathy for Geddy , especially as he discusses Neil&apos;s passing allowed him to open up and ventilate. Thank you Geddy for being so vulnerable.

  I went to a Rush concert (in Victoria, BC) around 1980-ish only because my husband was a huge fan. &nbsp;I was NOT a fan and was kinda meh about it. It ended up being one of the best concerts I have ever been to in my entire life. No super effects or fireworks, just incredible talent and one hell of a lot of music from 3 guys. I have never forgotten that night.
