I used to listen to him back in the 90s and early 00s...I got the humor and understood where he was coming from...the parodies themselves were, usually, one-hit wonders...sometimes played a bit too much...but overall, better than normal "yack" radio or sports-talk...at the time...
But now, I'm more of a sports-talk kind of guy...I don't really give a snit about Clemmens or who shot who's butt with peanut butter fluff or any of that...
But when some libby has something to trash Rush about...like an old friend, I'll find out as much as I can (without holding my nose or listening to the "chicken-littles" of the left and their insipid comments to the detriment of normal reasoning) and then decide how much time and effort to waste counter-acting the "press" and their minions...
Like anyone else, Rush has had his ups and downs (pill-popping that nearly led him to permanent deafness...there's a side effect that would scare anyone normal off from drugs...) and has probably outlasted many who thought they were better and morally superior to him...
May he continue to grace this nation's airwaves...others have tried and failed...but he seems to have what it takes to stay the course and stay on the air.
I may still make up a bumper-sticker that I've had floating in the back of my mind yet...
"IF YOU AIN'T "RUSH'N" - YOU AIN'T AMERICAN!"
And, if you're a libby and you are listenin' to Rush...at least you have the 'nads to hear the other side...you don't have to tell anyone...at least you're expandin' the limits of your mind...something that both sides of any issue needs to do.
