With Rush gone we'll be without honest radio commentary. There is no one I can't think of that could possibly take his place. I miss listening to him. He caught my attention way back in the 70s. He was my back up to Paul Harvey. Now without either one we're all scrod.

I think Graham Ledger would be a good candidate . But your Right, nobody can be all that Rush was.

He was quite the voice for radio & the 90’s conservative movement. My condolences to his family.
That being said he & the times have changed & I am glad we will never have to hear him again!

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".

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

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.

He was a class act right up to the end. Happy trails to you Rush.
