Had to come here today 1/11/2020. Still in shock. I saw a quote that I liked, "Always be yourself - Unless you can be Neil Peart, always be Neil Peart" Exit the Warrior. RIP Neil
Those guests on the show that night probably didn't know who Neil was. They probably thought he was a Harvard professor! Truly a deep thinking, intelligent and cerebral individual!
And Neil always exemplified two things as to why we have seen a dumbing down of our nation. 1.) We no longer read books 2.) We don't listen to people who read books. RIP Professor!
13:23 - Neil calls out Maher! Brilliant!! I've never been a fan of Maher - his overly-inflated ego, HUGE arrogance and very little talent. Maher (even then) puts himself up on a pedestal of being an authority on things he knows little (if anything) about, just so he can belittle those he disagrees with. His arrogance and ingnorance starts with the pronunciation of Peart's name! It's nice to see Maher surounded by actual thinkers who have something meaningful to say! Bravo, Neil!!!
Bill was just a glib clown, more interested in cheap jokes than really thoughtful discussion. I think as he’s grown older he’s achieved a better balance. Neil Peart was and is brilliant, thoughtful, and witty. I wish we could have heard more from him on this show
He's a rock star. If you think these people are bad, look at some of the people that go to his concerts. Just because you operate on a higher level, doesn't mean you avoid the dummies. He wouldn't be rich and famous without a heck of a lot of stupid people.
@@jamlive6650 www.bing.com/search?q=Was+Neil+Peart+A+Democrat%3F&search=&pc=U316&form=CHRDEF In 2015 he gave an interview with Rolling Stone & told them he supports the Democratic party. He might have been an Independent but he was an Independent who was a leftist & supported the Democratic party. Also, you can tell he was a leftist & would lean that way, even though Independent (by his lyric's). It's a no-brainer. Also more info also on this link www.mrctv.org/blog/bleeding-heart-libertarian-neil-peart-support-democrats
Neal is without dobt the most intelligent Rock and Roll drummer this planet will ever see..one only has to listen to him interview or sit back and take in his lyrics....he's a brilliant, talented man....how painful it must have been for him to sit in the same room with bill maher.
Neil is a god, Bill Maher is a walking, talking sess pool!!!!!! I love it when people who became rich & famous in a country like the US, spend all their time telling people how much the country sucks! Even the great Neil Peart couldn't make Bill Maher's show worth watching!
The moment Neil opens his mouth, you learn the difference between an intellectual and a pseudointellectual. Everyone else on the panel - host included - is grasping at straws to demonstrate their "superior" intelligence and desperately looking for validation. Neil listens, waits patiently, and he begins speaking to them on the level they've self-qualified themselves to be on. Almost immediately, they poke fun at his use of "facile," like crabs in a bucket. Folks like Maher have more or less taken over pop culture, and our culture has become dumber - not smarter - as a result. A wide cross-section of our population gets their opinions about social and political issues from late-night comedians. These talk show hosts tell us they're smart - mostly by dragging down others - and we take them at face value. Nobody wants to be one of the dumb people in the monologue, so they fall in line and pretend to "get it." The emperor has no clothes. We are a culture of dumbasses in disguise, living in constant fear that we will one day be found out for the impostors we are.
i love how i come here and every comment is about neil. nobody even knows who those other people are and it seems even maher is secondary. :) makes me happy. i love maher but i think even he himself scratch his head and squint at the worldwide fascination with peart and go to sleep jealous that evening. neil said like 2 sentences and people will debate about it for the next 30 years.
In contrast to Neil, I think she felt more regret about how she lived her life but I did like her quote "whoever said youth is wasted on the young actually got it wrong; it's more that maturity is wasted on the old."
For those wondering why Neil would do such a sub-par show as this it's to promote a hero of his - Buddy Rich. That's the CD Bill was holding at the intro.. Neil you are a class act.
Gosh I miss watching rush in concert in Cleveland Ohio I've learned alot from Neil peart I learned how to play a bunch of rush songs on guitar 🎸 I hope to see Neil in paradise earth if I make it there I always loved the lyrics to the larger bowl I can relate
maher didnt even try to begin to deal with anything neil peart said, he just bailed both times, probibly the right move for him, he should bail on his career while hes at it
they mentioned something about short attention spans...that was were I came in from skimming anyway....but after that I kinda trailed off a bit...clicking on something else now....what was I talking about? I guess if I was in Australia I wouldn't have this problem. WTF?
@philosopher2king BTW, you're welcome for the posting. I don't mean to fight with you or anyone else but most of my frustration here is that I really posted this from the perspective of a Rush fan and 90% of the posts I have to read in my inbox are "conservatives suck" and "liberals suck". It's just tiresome and I shouldn't have even gotten involved, I guess. Anyway, thanks for the nice comment.
Regrettably, I've seen that video as well. I'm convinced talk show hosts are the lowest common denominator when it comes to comedians. Strangely, they get paid the most. Such is the world
lol I think not. Peart is humble, inclusive, open-minded, slow to anger, selfless more than selfish, indulgent, kind, foregoing etc. ALL that Maher, Gesh! I hate even typing his name, is NOT!
*i came here because of neil peart but looked up the other guest elizabeth wurtzel, apparently she also just passed away ... **_on the same day!_** :-(*
Disagree. That's about all he has in common with Maher. His personality, professionalism, kindness, honestly, unassuming nature, intelligence, non-judgmental attitude and lack of arrogance make him nothing like Bill Maher.
And to be fair, several of the criticisms of Maher that include "blows dog dicks" and such are over the top, too. I've got my own strong political beliefs but let's please try to keep this just about Peart since that's the whole reason I uploaded it. There are a million other places on the web to shout obscenities at each other. I just wanted to upload this stuff for Rush fans to watch. Thanks a lot, guys! I'm not trying to lecture anybody up but let's try to be civil.
Douglas Stephens Bill Maher pronounces it like "Pair-t". The correct phonetic pronunciation is "Peer-t". He (Neil) has made this clear in various other interviews. I can provide links if you have any doubts about the correct way to say it.
neil's a smart guy. he's logical. he makes sense. he's got common sense. whatever he missed out on being programmed in school he learned on a social level through experiences and he obviously loves books
When did Neil Peart stop using this lispy speech pattern? Maybe it's the audio quality of this clip, but there's a sharp contrast with his current speech pattern.
@DrinkThunderbird - Right on both points (delusion and pronouncing Peart as "Parrot")! That's funny. I like how they're discussing intellect and education to some degree and yet when Neil uses the word "facile," that jackass Maher points it out as somehow forced or as if it's some $5 word. (Surely a "rock'n'roll" drummer couldn't know THAT word!). Truth be told, despite his lack of a completed formal education, Neil has proven himself - to me at least - to be far more intelligent than Maher.
@einarabelc5 One last thing is to look closely at Rush's lyrics. The line in Tom Sawyer (which is all about the individual spirit) describes Neil well. "No his mind is not for rent, to any god or government" sums him up perfectly. Broadly speaking, conservatives want religious authority over the individual and those of the left want government authority over the individual. Peart (and I) would prefer not much of either. So there's my long-winded take. Thanks for commenting!
I love AUS and it's true I find them interesting and far superior in intelligence to American and many other countries.Also love ya Neil ya did good bro
I liked Neil Peart the best when he was into Ayn Rand. I read Anthem and the Fountainhead because of him. That led me to Atlas Shrugged eventually. Rush is smart to avoid overt political messages, which I respect, unlike, say, the Ditsey Twits. It's hard to figure Neil out. He chose to live in LA, which would lead me to believe he's a big lib, but then he's best friends with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who definitely aren't liberals.
you know i just looked up"facile" and you are correct it in fact does not mean the same thing as "easy" in English it means creating the illusion of simplicity by ignoring relevant complexities. how could i doubt Neils sincerity? in French it means easy
@shrumpkin ... no, it's NOT pronounced like the fruit.... it's as StellarJetman states: like "ear" with a P and T at either end! Trust me. I'm Canadian. LOL.
How did Bill Maher ever get a show? He is very depressing to listen too...it's like listening to a old lady complain about coupons in line at the grocery store!
@xxxx15us That's because Maher isn't quite as smart as he's like everyone to think he is. He even says around the :30 mark that he got all the names right.
What is the word Peart uses after Maher's Wyne's World comment (10:39)? Peart says, "it's too ___ to say that people are getting dumber"? What is the term he used. I couldn't hear. Thank you.
I appreciate your comments but the very fact that someone listens to someone on the radio, watches someone on TV, or reads someone's words doesn't mean that they're being "told what to think" by that person. For Neil, and for people like me, any one component of that input is a very small part of the whole. That phrase is always used in a dismissive way. "You listen to so-and-so and they just tell you what to think", etc. That's just not accurate for most people.
crazy how clear it is this was obviously written WELL before the phenomenon of today when vast swathes of the populace are completely fucking programmed on what to think by the right wing talking points brigade with trump brands on their asses and the poseur in the white house's desperate need to dominate the news cycle every 24 hours before the empty black hole inside consumes him and us...
Neil seemed open minded. Definitely understands human nature more than maher. It's not intelligent to berate people based on prejudices. Maher should know this but then again it just shows how unintelligent he really is.
@mmsun44 No doubt, and what's really odd is how he not only says Peart's name incorrectly but he screws it up in a way I've never heard anywhere else. Like Peart is French or something. Bizarre.
This was in 1994, way before he was any sort of polarizing figure and before most of the general public even knew who he was. It was more light entertainment than political.
I love Maher and Peart. A lot of people who criticize Maher seem to do so not realizing that he is a political satirist! I don't get the hate for him while saying that Peart is so different from him...Peart is a libertarian, I believe, if you had to categorize his political outlook, and Maher has said he's the same. They're not so far apart. Lighten up.
don't waste your time explaining to right-wing shotheads why Maher is great. They fear smart people that speak trueth like vampires fear the sun. They are only here trolling.
Eddie Galon Says the dullard that accuses anyone with a differing opinion of being a Troll. Please refrain from showing your abject stupidity in public... it's very unbecoming of you.
@xxxx15us - Thank you! Perfect word for Bill Maher. I find it ironic that Maher is always attacking people's intelligence, but yet makes the dumbest arguments. I guess it is to be expected.
@xxxx15us It's like "pear" and then he sticks a "t" on the end. Makes a refreshing change from the ludicrous "pert". I'm surprised people don't rhyme ir with "heart"... But of course it is pronounced to rhyme with hear, fear, dear, tear etc, I often think my name if boring as first and last names are just one syllable each, but at least people rarely mispronounce them.

But of course it is pronounced to rhyme with hear, fear, dear, tear etc, I often think my name if boring as first and last names are just one syllable each, but at least people rarely mispronounce them.
Well said.
Neil Peart and Elizabeth Wurtzel passed away on the same day. Weird coincidence.
