   Joe Mahoney to All   
   Why Neil :Peart retired from drumming...   
   21 Dec 18 06:55:20   
   
   From: joemahoney1950@gmail.com   
      
   Fokes, it's been knowed for a while that Rush wouldn't tour again, but some   
   among us had hoped there might be another Rush album or two to listen to when   
   we weren't on our X-Boxes and Fox News.  Well, Geddy Lee piddled those last   
   embers of hope away the    
   other day when he stated that Neil Peart had retired not just from touring but   
   from drumming entirely.  So, unless he's moved to the skin flute or something,   
   there will be no future Rush albums unless there's an Act of God (meaning   
   Putin).     
      
   But why?  Well, there's various theories, just as there are various theories   
   as to how human beans came about.  Some say Alien.  Darwin said apes -- of   
   course, as we all know, that's been proved by ID theorists and televangelists   
   alike to be a damnable    
   lie for which he burns in Hell.  But other say aliens, and best of all is the   
   irrefutable word of God, who says He did it.  It's right there in the only   
   book anyone is permitted to read.  The Bible.  Also President Trump's davorite   
   book, he says so    
   himself.     
      
      
   So that settles the question of human origins.  Now what of Neil's   
   retirement?  Fokes, my fellow Diaper-Adorned Dunces, Neil is simply too busy   
   watching Fox News (he especially adores Shepard Smith - one of US, wink-wink)   
   and keeping his weapons trained    
   on the US-Mexico border to worry himself with something like music.     
      
      
   I mean, music seemed like a big deal to Neil when he was younger.  But like   
   us, he's gotten big and incontinent.  He's matured, and sees no point in   
   bashing drums when he can assist Donald in Making America Great Again, one   
   burp at a time.
