Sad news from Jian Ghomeshi, host of CBC's acclaimed radio show "Q", which has fast became a strong voice for Canada's cultural community. We wish you and yours well, Jian. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time."My dear friends, forgive me if I am lost. My heart has been broken.On Thursday evening my beautiful dad, Farhang Frank Ghomeshi, died at 6:23pm at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. My mom, my sister and I (along with my cousin) were at his ...bedside all day, as we had been for much of the last two weeks.I cannot stop the tears. He was my hero.I have a tattoo of my dad's name – his signature in Farsi, in fact - on my right arm. People have asked me why over the years. He was not a celebrity, or an Olympic athlete, or a business magnate, but he was, quite simply, the greatest man I've ever known.If you had the chance to meet my dad then you will know the beauty and dignity and power of his presence. If you didn't, perhaps you've heard me talking about him over the years. He was a sage. He was a charmer. He was a thinker. And his laugh was so infectious that you could not escape its embrace…you would have no choice but to join in.His life, in three acts, was a remarkable and inspiring tale. His first act, in Iran, was an extraordinary story of loss and resilience. He lost his dad at age 15, and became the de facto father and breadwinner of a family of seven children (he was the oldest). He assumed responsibility for the business, helped his mother, took care of his siblings, and put himself through university.His second act, beginning in his mid-30s, was a pioneering migration to the west. He and my mother left Iran, first for England, and then for Canada at a time when few other families were doing so (pre-Iranian Revolution). He was seeking to build a prosperous and safe life for his new young family. He did so – eventually working for Ontario Hydro as a well-respected engineer. He believed in Canada long before we came here and became a great patriot after we arrived, deeply loving what he saw as a progressive new world. He profoundly cared about the direction of this country.His third act was a transformation into a gentle and wise soul who was the finest role model in the world. No one had more integrity. No one carried himself with more dignity in his decisions and his selflessness. No one gave more of himself to his family and his loved ones.You may know that my dad's mantra to me was, "please work harder". He fuelled my ambitions. But his greatest quality was his ability to inspire others with his compassion and support. He was often formal in his dealings, but always kind. And he was terribly loving in a very modest way. One of his last conscious acts was to repeatedly thank the hospital staff for the work they were doing before he died. He hated the idea of people making a fuss about him. Even when he was in terrible pain in his final weeks he would insist that we all go about our lives and not be burdened by his sickness.I miss him so much it's hard to breathe. His sparkling eyes. His radiant smile. His sage words. His joyous laugh. His selflessness.I am grateful to have had this beautiful man in my life into my 40s. In the end, I suppose he has taught me what love really is. Because I love him so much that I will never let him go."

For Lori......."As the years went by, we drifted apartWhen I heard that you were goneI felt a shadow cross my heart...."Rest now, and may God comfort your family and friends. You are still a hero to many.

Geddy quoted that they have so many songs that they try their best to please the crowd..Wich is cool

Stella Andreou

Hero--not the champion player Who plays the perfect game Not the glamor boy Who loves to sell his name Everybody's buying Nobody's hero 

wagoplay

the bassist and the guitarrist are also a perfect voice combination.

That would be cool but what if they play one album in Chicago(where i live), then the one I want to go see all the way across the country. Cool idea though. I wouldn't want them to only resort to their past songs though; they need to still be creating new albums.

Sean Rock

i strongly believe that for their farewell tour in hopefully not for another 15 years or so, they should for every date play their albums in full. one day have the first rush album in full, then fly by night in full the next night, all the way up to whatever album they decide to be their last album and then just have a set of 10 "classics" thatd be tough though because the sets would have to be changed accordingly to accomidate the albums in full theyre performing each night.

Sean Rock

ha youre all good. i check youtube pretty regularly actually but at anyrate 2 songs i could live without them playing live honestly would be tom sawyer and spirit of radio. great songs dont get me wrong but their catalog goes so much deeper than that. we heard moving pictures front to back but what about power windows? what about hemispheres front to back? what about roll the bones front to back? presto and counterparts too!

jfl125

Even though this was 6 months ago i'm still going to comment. There are so many Rush songs that I could say the same exact thing about; they're all so great. The list keeps getting bigger and bigger. There are songs from every album that I would love to hear live. Secret Touch, Everyday Glory, Fountain of Lamneth, The pass, War Paint, and much more. It's starting to kill me.

maximumpickle

No, definitely not just you, I wonder why it is my brain reacts that way every time

Ryan Sheehan

As far as I know Rush never did any drugs besides pot

Eyedunno

Well, okay, the former song is probably just pot, but most people include that when they talk about drugs...

Eyedunno

Well, there are drugs in "A Passage to Bangkok" and sex in "Panacea"...

mtut

It's an Ovation Elite.

REN DEGRENN

cnc dady you are so right

Sean Rock

I only have one minor complaint of rushs current CA tour.....they didn't put this song in the set! could you have imagined what this song woulda been like live with the string ensemble they're touring with right now? oh well. it still was the best show ever. anyone wants to see some footage of the current tour I got vids up from the pittsburgh gig on 9/11

Dimebag Darrell

Neil! you are the reason i'm a drummer for 36 years! i heard Rush since i was 5 and this was the first Rush song i ever heard. Rush YOU ARE MY LIFE!
