This week on the Two Guys Talking Rush Podcast, Handsome Johnny and Delightful Dan gaze into each others deep brown eyes through the channels of Zoom….and then something clicks and we begin to do the damn thing. And that––damn thing––is talking RUSH!

On this weeks show….Neil Peart Memorial Task Force Member Chris O’Connor returns to give some details and updates on the Neil Peart memorial.

Last year the St. Catharines City Council, with the full support of the community, voted to name the newly rebuilt pavilion at Lakeside Park the Neil Peart Pavilion at Lakeside Park in honor of the hometown icon who passed away January 2020. The Council also established the Neil Peart Commemorative Task Force, with the objective to commission a public work of art commemorating Peart's life and legacy. The city officially began welcoming artists to submit requests for pre-qualification via the city's website, and will be accepting submissions through March 29th.
