R.I.P. John Rutsey - Original Drummer for Rush

Being both a drummer and a long-time Rush fan, I just wanted to offer my condolences to the family and friends of original drummer John Rutsey.  John only played on the first Rush album, and quit before the first big tour due to health concerns (primarily diabetes).  Although overshadowed by his replacement Neil Peart, who is still with Rush, John's drumming on the first album is exciting and a great fit for the music.  His playing will live on with Rush's legacy, and will be heard on the radio for many years to come.  Thanks John!
