Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.

There's a new reality born every minute. Unless one is a believer in predestination (in which case I'll call the prestidigitator), or other puppet-like restraints on our powers, one is free to imagine and effect changes on the world. And if enough people do it, there are big changes. These things happen. Anything can.

Neil Peart
Image
...The important thing is: if you fail once, or if your luck is bad this time, the dream is still there. A dream is only over if you give it up-or if it comes true.
Neil Peart
Image
While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
Neil Peart
Image
I have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart.

If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
Neil Peart
Image
For me, drum elements are like hieroglyphics - I think of a certain physical figure, and a little three-dimensional glyph will appear in my mind as I'm playing.
Neil Peart
Image
Lotus-land as it appears in 'Free Will' is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a 'land of milk and honey.' It is sometimes also used as a pejorative name for Los Angeles, though that was not in my mind when I wrote it.
Neil Peart
Image
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
Neil Peart
Image
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
