I just found out a former coworker and old LiveJournal friend, Evilbeard, passed away last week, at the extremely far too young age of 49. His obituary is brief but bursting with the joy he took in life and brought to those around him. He was one of the good ones, and I'm so glad to have gotten to know him in the ways I did.

He would appreciate my dark amusement at the fact I am writing a serious obit post about someone I knew best as Evilbeard.

Rest in peace, Neil Peart.

I didn't expect to be near-Bowie levels of sad at this, but I am. My love of Rush has survived childhood trauma, terrible boyfriends, bad trips, getting over my "I'm not like other girls" phase, getting over my libertarian phase, losing my hearing for three days after forgetting my earplugs the first time we had front-row seats, an atrocious covers album, and a painful breakup. And so much of what I love about Rush is Neil.

I was grateful to be working from home today when I heard the news, so no one could see the brief tears, or complain about me putting 2112 on at top volume.
