He was an incredible drummer obviously, but what a lot of folks don't know was he was deeply deeply philosophical and he wrote most of Rush's lyrics.
His lyrics on 2112 (side one in fact one of my fav album sides of all time) was strong influenced by the works of Ayn Rand. (He said that in an interview once)

At one point he'd had enough, walked away from the band and toured all of N America and Central America on a motorcycle. Logged like 50K miles or something crazy like that. I remember hearing about it back in the day. No one knew who he was of course... he just looked like a biker. Pretty cool really.
I had no idea he passed. Good one B1.

EDIT: Reader.... next time you're in a bar with a Touch-Tunes jukebox... bring up Rush and play 2112... I don't think Touch-Tunes knows it, but for one play you get the entire album side lol. 20 plus minutes. Doesn't necessarily go over well in all circumstances. :finger: em.
Great album side.

And the meek shall inherit the earth

We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all, and all for one
We work together, common son
Never need to wonder how or why

There will never again be drumming talent, and creativity through writing, on this level in music. One of the last great ones. A sad day for fans of "beats".
