A few musicians have audiophile set ups. Henry Rollins has a an impressive system with Wilson XLF's.

I agree with you Marc. Many musicians they just want to sell records, to pack houses.
And you have everyone else, they don't sell but they sound better, some.
I know musicians with very simple sound systems in their homes, less than a thousand bucks.
I bet if we would do a survey that it would be extra fascinating to discover which musicians care about sounds more than others. But then, no two musicians have the same view about what good sound is @ home from a stereo hi-fi system.
Are there more analog audiophile musicians or more digital audiopile musicians?
If rushed to answer I'd be lost.

Look what came in today! Hand signed by the artist Thomas Estrada. Many dont know who he is especially outside the US. Those that know who Rat Fink is however you have seen his art work as he is an authorized artist for Big Daddy Ed Roth (RIP). His resume runs deep with Disney also. Shameless plug, gobs of talent! https://www.artofthomasestrada.com Check him out there might be something in there for your music room. He communicates one one one through your purchase, class act.

The Spirit of Neil Peart
For the first time since the passing of Rush's drum god, Neil Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson speak about his legacy.

Darren, thanks so much for posting this at my request. Such a poignant piece, seems so much in keeping w the man. Reminds me why I became such a fan in the first place.
This is one of the most heartfelt articles about anybody that I've ever read. It's striking how the family, band and immediate circle, in this age of maximum confessionals and disclosure, kept a near-total lid on Neil's condition and progress. They're to be totally commended while so much of rock'n'roll and Hollywood lives for social media.
I for one am really heartened that Neil apparently didn't suffer great physical pain, despite the great anguish he'd have felt w the slipping of his cognitive skills.
The anecdote of him retiring to become part time librarian volunteer in his young daughter's school is absolutely fantastic.
Neil was a bit of a role model to me when I was younger, but I slightly drifted away from him in the last couple of decades. It's taken his death and fantastic articles like this to get me to reconnect.

In 1975 I saw a new band named KISS open up for a ZZ Top concert. Fell asleep 20 min into ZZ Top. But I digress. In 1976 I saw a new band named RUSH open up for a KISS concert.
Neil was quite the performer and entertainer extraordinaire. In fact, a 1-man band whenever the spirit moved him it seemed and then deliver a performance that steals the show. Incredible talent.
I saw RUSH in Phoenix 1979- great show, of course. Took my wife to see them in Austin on their Clockwork Angels tour. They sounded as good and strong as ever.
The article was good. A bit sad that Neil was never truly comfortable in the public eye. The Netflix movie on their history is really good and provides a lot of context for their enduring success.

Great read thank you.
I have seen them almost every tour since Moving Pictures, last time being Time Machine tour and they played a few songs off their "New album coming out soon"
Even got the set list from the guy running the soundboard.
Really wish I could have been there at the last show at the Forum as I have so many great concert memories there growing up. The place sounded like shit though.

take nine minutes and watch this on a good sized screen and realize that at no time is there a click track or anything you hear that is not him live. How he goes off with the top half of his body and keeps it all together with his feet makes him the true goat.

could not find it out side it. you need to watch it, its just him raw, by himself, not part of a show, no bandmates playing with him, just him by himself. You dont see that very often from him.
Quit being a stick in the mud lol, you control your content, if you dont want to get political then dont. Lots of cool concert footage billions of audio groups all kinds of stuff.
Me I get political as F&%$ at times but there is so much cool stuff on there.
get a streamer and a FB on the same day and blow us all away.
