[2020] Gone But Not Forgotten

Shocked when I saw Neil Peart has passed. Didn't realize he was sick though I guess the "spend more time with family" retirement was a hint I wasn't looking for.
I had my Rush years in high school which I grew out of but he was probably one of the best drummers in rock history and it was a pleasure to see him live several times in my youth.
RIP

RIP Alan Merrill, a name you may not know, but wrote a song you most certainly do. A coronavirus casualty

Bill Withers, who wrote and sang a string of soulful songs in the 1970s that have stood the test of time, including “ Lean on Me, ” “Lovely Day” and “Ain’t No Sunshine,” has died from heart complications, his family said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was 81.
The three-time Grammy Award winner, who withdrew from making music in the mid-1980s, died on Monday in Los Angeles, the statement said. His death comes as the public has drawn inspiration from his music during the coronavirus pandemic, with health care workers, choirs, artists and more posting their own renditions of “Lean on Me” to help get through the difficult times.
