Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 102 – RIP Neil Peart

Thu, Jan 8, 2026

1/7/2020 – the day we lost Rush drummer Neil Peart to a brain cancer nobody knew about.  I’ll have In Memoriam milestone tracks for him and several other artists as well in this episode as we get away from the holiday themes and back to full-time milestones.

It’s another pre-recorded episode as the move to the new studio continues.  It looks like this will be the case next week as well.
