"Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon." -Afterimage
Rush was the first concert I ever attended and I caught them every tour thereafter. They were the first band whose catalog I took a deep dive into. The earlier fantasy/sci-fi influenced stuff was perfect for a young teenager who just picked up Lord of the Rings for the first time. The later biographical/philosophical stuff being the anchor of wisdom for a growing mind. In a lot of ways, Rush shaped who I am today. Very saddened by this loss, but also very happy I lived in the same time as he did and witnessed his craft.
