Neil Peart: Happy Birthday :)

Happy birthday, Neil, aka Pratt, The Professor and Bubba! Thank you for being the best rock drummer and lyricist that I know of.

Also, happy birthday to my New York friend, and fellow Rush fan, Troy (TJH3113). He's so lucky, getting to share a birthday with one of the Rush guys!
