Rumors Spread of Meg White Replacing Peart
On March 9th, the Nevada County Scooper published a satire article suggesting former White Stripes drummer Meg White was selected to replace Neil Peart of Rush – and it apparently fooled a lot of people. Note: the following quote is satire and false:
“We’ve worked very closely with Meg White over the past few months,” said Mr. Lifeson in a Scooper telephone interview earlier this week. “Neil has been intimately involved with showing her the set. As you can imagine, there’s no one to replace him on drums, but we believe that Meg will bring a fresh perspective to some of our classics.”
