Richard commented on the passing of legendary rock drummer Neil Peart of Rush. “This is a guy,” said CTV Pop Life host Richard Crouse, “who started off with allusions to being like a Keith Moon or John Bonham, from the Who and Led Zepplin, then introduced elements of big band drummers like Buddy Guy and Gene Krupa to (create a) sound unlike anybody else. He was the youngest person ever inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1983,” Crouse added, “simply because no one else sounded like that.”
Proud and pleased to be part of the ECW Press 40th anniversary anthology alongside other authors Tony Burgess, Corey Redekop, Robert Priest and even Neil Peart!
