Listened to Hanity, Levin, and Trump talk about Rush; very nice tributes.

Rush was always the best radio tune.


You know, nobody ever talks about how ya get cancer. I suspect cigars were a habit for Rush, and an accelerant for the illness.

Apparently, he used to be a cigarette smoker. He would often say "right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers".

I have been listening to Rush since 1992.
Great conservative talk radio show host. He will be greatly missed.

And I agree, not the birthday gift I wanted either.

Rush's death, getting my taxes done (and have 1 large check to write) and getting my second Covid vaccine shot is not my idea of a wonderful birthday.

I did get Black Forest Cherry Cake for dessert after dinner though...

RIP, Rush.
My boss passed on Tuesday afternoon - also a great conservative. RIP, Mike.
Heaven must need more conservatives.

Along those lines, his father was a WWII fighter pilot. IIRC, I think Rush said that he (Dad) flew P-51 Mustangs.

Just like Region Warrior, been listening to Rush during my lunch break for as long as I can remember. He was the real deal and a truly humble man in spite of his tremendous success.

Our local affiliate used to run Rush with Paul Harvey news at Noon. It didn't get much better than that.
