Neil Peart died on January 7th, 2020, his death was surprisingly obscure. Peart is well known for most of Rush's classic lyrics. He wrote most of Rush's lyrics, but certainly not all. I don't have the time to track down to wrote which exact lyric, thus I'm giving the bulk of the credit to Peart. In those cases where that's incorrect, I apologize to all. Also according to Rolling Stone Peart is the fourth greatest drummer of all time. For the record Rolling Stone has Ginger Baker at #3, Keith Moon at #2 and the thunder of the gods John Bonham at #1.
