I've never known a time when there wasn't conservative talk radio.

Lucky kid.

[John Lenin]

In 1993 he was 8 years old, pretty good article for a 19-20 year old.

At 14, I remember seeing Rush's TV show in the morning before I went to school. I thought he was cool since he made fun of stupid people.

In 1993 he was 8 years old. I feel OLD. In 1993 I got married.

Smart kid, wish we had more like him. Personally, talk radio or Christian broadcasting is the only radio worth turning on now-a-days. Music has been mostly garbage ever since Tennessee Earnie Ford crossed over the river.

I think the rampant liberalism in the schools is going to create a huge conservative generation. Kids know when they are being lied to and to be a liberal you have to lie a lot.

I too used to listen to talk radio in the mid-90's when I was in high school. Unfortunately I can no longer stand the commercial load on talk radio. Internet conservative news has completely replaced talk radio for me. I haven't listened to Rush or any other host in 2+ years.

I can say the same. I am 31 years old and am a charter Rush listener. Found him 100% by accident. I had only recently gotten my drivers license.

On Rush's show there isn't one second more of commercial time than 10 years ago.

However, a couple years ago it was discovered that some radio stations were using a "secret" technology that compressed shows by eliminating any spots of dead air and by doing so they could squeeze in over an additional minute of commericals per hour. Can't remember what it was called.

I'm not saying its any longer, I'm just saying I can't take it anymore.

[RandallFlagg]

You and me both. (but not to each other)

Unfortunately, I was in the military and travelling the globe when Rush was on TV.

[RandallFlagg]

I have a rig at home that records off of Rush 24-7, without commercials, on one side of a 90-minute cassette tape. I carry it around at work and listen to Rush every day. I have over three months of archives.

[tai-pan]

I listen to talk radio all day long. Streamed from various websites, you can listen to commercials without vomitting, I've been amazed.

[MadelineZapeezda]

that's really scary when I hear them say that they think they're getting the news, they can't make the separation between the New York Times and ABC News and NPR and the talk shows Hannity and Colmes or Bill O'Reilly. It's all the same to them. That's all the news, Entertainment Tonight, it's all the news

Better, Ms Simpson, that they hear it on Rush than on Leno or Stewarts Comedy Central!

I wish I had the logo from Neal Boortz' old web page, for his "Institute for Insensitivity Training". Pretty good stuff.

[AVNevis]

As another teenager I completely agree with these sentiments.

[Brimack34]

When I was growing up I only had Larry King and Salley Jessie to listen to.

[John Lenin]

Yep, most people want to hear uplifting messages about the country they live in, if you listen to lib talk radio or TV all the talk about is gloom and doom. Liberalisms problem is they can't get their message out in a positive way.

Your wish may be possible, check out http://www.archive.org/web/web.php Known as the 'Wayback Machine' this web site purports to have nearly 8 years of old web pages. If you remember the Neal Boortz URL, type it in and see if that logo can be 'fetched'.
