On this day back in 1952, our favorite drummer - Neil Ellwood Peart - was born in Hamilton, Ontario. Neil turns 59 today which makes him the old man of the band; Geddy and Alex both recently turned 58. I should also mention that this past Friday, September 9th, Neil and his wife Carrie Nuttall celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary. Happy birthday Pratt, and happy anniversary Neil and Carrie!
