Anyone know the backstory? Not your typical image of Neil Peart. Usually the quiet, disciplined perfectionist behind the kit, here he looks like he's cutting loose. This past week I dropped a new Neil Peart mini-documentary https://youtu.be/qEpHsKZbEwE

Even the President couldn’t stop Steve McQueen from dancing with his daughter.
That’s 17-year-old Luci Baines Johnson doing the Watusi with the King of Cool himself.

But that’s just who McQueen was.
And in Bullitt, he took all that quiet swagger and channeled it into one of the most stripped-down, badass performances in movie history.

Quentin Tarantino said it best:
“As pure cinema, it’s one of the best-directed movies ever made.”

My new video breaks it all down — Bullitt, McQueen, the chase scene, and what makes this film such a cinematic landmark.

Is Sabbath’s fanbase dying off?

According to YouTube analytics from my Black Sabbath Vol. 4 documentary:

63.4% of viewers are over 45

Only 2% are under 25

96.1% are male

No Gen Z. Barely any millennials.
It’s mostly Gen X and boomers still keeping the flame alive.

📊 (Not scientific, just YouTube stats — but they paint a picture.)

So here's the question:
Are we the last generation that gives a damn about Sabbath?
Or is there still a way to pass it on?
