TOOL drummer Danny Carey put on a hell of a display in honouring Peart at Friday's show in San Diego.
And, some kudos and memories from some notable funny dudes.
Adam Sandler chimed in on Twitter:
Neil Peart. R.I.P. Thanks for all you gave us. We could not have loved you more. pic.twitter.com/efw2Lw0a19

Ricky, Julian & Bubbles paid tribute.
The Trailer Park Boys are heartbroken by the loss of their friend, Neil Peart. For his percussive and lyrical genius that provided the soundtrack to our lives, heartfelt thanks.

"Exit The Warrior"
This one goes out to Neil Peart, who had a good chuckle over Bubbles' DIY drum kit and Julian's chicken skin face. Of course Ricky fucked up as usual! pic.twitter.com/R5igsGLR0j

And some really cool words from Paul Rudd and Jason Segel to Rolling Stone, about what Neil meant to them, and their (underrated as hell!) buddy comedy, ‘I Love You, Man’: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jason-segel-paul-rudd-rush-neil-peart-i-love-you-man-936604/
If you’ve never seen Sam Dunn’s RUSH documentary, ‘Beyond The Lighted Stage’, it’s absolutely worth watching when you get a chance.
Rest in peace, Neil.
The Dome is playing a shitload of Rush tonight, and that’s a pretty class move. #RIPNealPeart

We lost Chester Bennington to suicide on July 20th, 2017. Way, way too early. Earlier that year, Chester had announced that his first band, Grey Daze, would be reuniting. Unfortunately, that never came to fruition. But, something pretty cool happened this week... -
Brace Yourselves, Cannabis Drones Are Coming!
I suppose it was only a matter of time. We’ve got marijuana being legalized, slowly but surely, all over North America. We’ve got drone technology, becoming more and more common in various fields of work. And we live in a time where human beings LOVE not having to do sh*t for themselves.
