Description

Neil Peart decided to drive from LA to Big Bend National Park in Texas. As he sped along, he acted as his own DJ, lining up the CDs chronologically and according to his possible moods. Not only did the music I listened to accompany my journey, but it also took me on sidetrips, through memory and fractals of associations, threads reaching back through my whole life in ways I had forgotten, or had never suspected...The songs and the stories I had taken for granted suddenly had a resonance that had clearly echoed down the corridors of my entire life."

Author Biography

Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist for the legendary band Rush, and author of The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa and Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road.

Reviews
