Summary

The music of Frank Sinatra, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and many other artists provides the score to the reflections of a musician on the road in this memoir of Neil Peart's travels from Los Angeles to Big Bend National Park. The emotional associations and stories behind each album Peart plays guide his recollections of his childhood on Lake Ontario, the first bands that he performed with, and his travels with the band Rush. The evocative and resonant writing vividly captures the meanderings of a musical mind, leading rock enthusiasts to discover inside information about Rush and the musical inspirations of a rock legend.

Wonderful

A fantastic insight into a man whose work I enjoyed since I first discovered it in the mid 80s. Flows beautifully and unlike some books, this was never a drawn out chore to listen to. My only regret is I didn’t listen to it sooner. RIP Neil, the world is slightly less interesting now you’ve gone.

Neils musical tastes revealed

Another spectacular read by a truly gifted writer. A sizeable listen at 14 hours whose end came all too soon as did his passing.
i miss him even more after getting to know via his eloquent books

Awful. Shame

Keeps fading in and out every minute. Incomprehensible. Utter jumble. Love Neil Peart but this is a mess on his legacy
