Neil Peart Drum Solo on Letterman

Transitioning from a post about a no-talent hack to a post about one of the greatest of all time...

Neil Peart capped off drum solo week on the Letterman show last week. I could watch this guy play all day.

The Pronunciation of "Best Drummer of All Time"

I've often - and recently - had heated conversations with friends about the pronunciation of the last name of Neil Peart, the legendary drummer for the rock band Rush.

I've had friends swear to me that it's pronounced "pert." I've actually heard him (in a Rockline interview) pronounce it "peert."

And once again, arguing with James about all things Superman, Sammy Bearkat or Rush turns out to be a bad idea.

According to both Wikipedia and to Neil himself - on video no less - it is, indeed "Peert."

Bubba's Bar & Grill

Check out this new cooking site from Neil Peart. Yes, that Neil Peart.

It's Bubba's Bar & Grill, and its all about the kind of cooking I love: fresh and simple. It seems we have very similar culinary tastes. I would have chosen a salmon recipe as one of my first, also.
