They are linked because Neil Peart was at one time inspired by Ayn Rand's books and he agreed with her philosophy. Many of Rush's songs from that period of time in the mid-1970s to mid-1980s had a Randian influence. However, as Neil has pointed out many times, he long ago moved away from Ayn Rand's philosophy and his writing over the years has had many other influences.

Did Ayn Rand know about the rock band rush?

It is very unlikely. Ayn Rand died in 1982, and during her life, there is not much evidence that she liked rock music. Further, she influenced many young people over the years, Neil Peart among them; but unless the people who admired her work sought her out, she did not make the effort to find them. Neil has never spoken about any efort to find her, nor has he said that considered himself one of her disciples.
