California infected Peart that rapidly (home is in Santa Monica), or was he always this way in reality?

[Sgt_Schultze]

Is he planning to redistribute his personal fortune, or has he set his sights on yours?

[cschroe]

His political views don’t change the fact that he’s arguably the best rock percussionist of the past 40 years.

All libertarians face this decision in every election, which is more important to them, their conservative half, or their lefty half, or do they just vote for the libertarian party itself and cover both.

Some end up pulling the lever for the republicans, some pull for the democrats, and the pure ones, vote for their actual party.

Hey Neil....love a lot of your band’s music, but you need to YYZip it.

[beaversmom]

Still enjoy his drumming on the live Subdivisions, but won’t be looking to him for any wisdom.

[MrB]

I’ve found that leftists define “hate” as “not providing sufficient special privileges”.

[skeeter]

From libertine to modern democrat. Congratulations, Peart - you've managed to do about a drastic an ideological 180 as is possible. You're not nearly as thoughtful as I thought you were.

Still helluva drummer, though.

[Cyman]

For a person of my sensibility

Nuff said.

[River Hawk]

A couple of lessons here.
Musical ability has nothing to do with wisdom.
All Rand Paul’s pandering has gotten him nowhere.

[CygnusXI]

Seems Peart is vying for priesthood in the temple of syrinx..tsk tsk..

Most of his lyrics (most..) do not reflect this horrible view. Their are exceptions, but most are very good.

[daku]

Libertarian my ass

[Bullish]

Well, everyone’s entitled to an opinion even rock star drummers. Besides if doesn’t toe the democrat line he won’t be invited to party with the “cool” people.

[Personal Responsibility]

Libertarian supports Democrats?

I think he’s done too many drugs. Shut up and play drums, Neil.

[PressurePoint]

“And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, ax, and saw.”

I always thought The Trees was Peart’s cautionary tale. Turns out it was his hope for our future.

[Mad Dawgg]

Rand Paul is about as Libertarian as Hillary Clinton is Conservative...

[ozzymandus]

Many “Libertarians” are just liberals in disguise.

[pepsi_junkie]

So now he’s a looter. Wish I hadn’t seen this. But the music remains great.

[IrishBrigade]

Sorry...never heard of the guy...

[Mashood]

Canadians cannot be trusted.

[catfish1957]

Rush is my favorite band, but like many other rockers lean a hard left.
