Neil Peart
All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so boldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.
Neil Peart
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Neil Peart
Stamina is the force that drives the drumming it's not really a sprint.
