Not a big fan of Rush, but Neil inspired me as a drummer back when I was a teenager!

Best,

A master drummer who never stopped reinventing his style and author of some of the most intelligent song lyrics ever written. He will be missed. Rose | [Rose]

This really makes me sad. I've been listening to Rush for decades and their music has been a significant part in many memorable situations.

The world of music has lost a legend. Not only was he one of the best percussionists of all time, he was also a great writer (of music and books).

Who else could create a 4 minute instrumental based on Morse Code from the local airport beacon- YYZ?
(Does this make him a programmer? Morse Code is one of the earliest forms of digital compression)

A friend of mine once told me that the average rock drummer plays only 4 or 5 patterns; and that Neal did that too, and then got to the second verse

For an Alpaca giving birth is called "unpacking", but why isn't the same for a Llama called "dellamanating"?

Possibly for the same reason a lady-rap-singer doesn't give birth by unwrapping.
Or, a female software developer doesn't decode.

They either refactor or dump code. Smile | :)

other big differences include

one's just a dopey looking sheep with a long neck, (often coiffured to look like a demented poodle)

the other is a source of good karma if eaten every day.

after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!
