attempted hit piece?
I also remember when I first heard Rush. My dad had just bought an old Ford with an AM-only radio, and the only station in our small town had satellite-fed talk.
It was the summer of ‘92, and the Reagan/Bush years were coming to a halt. I was born in ‘79, and had only ever known GOP presidents. I never thought the governor of Arkansas had a chance!
My dad had been a poll watcher, and my grandparents lived next door to a polling place. Elections had always fascinated me. I was a news junkie, but had started waking up to their bias.
When I heard his show, I ate it up. No guests, and lots of crazy skits! The ‘90s were a heck of a lot easier to bear because of him. There was no Hannity, Beck, Fox News, FR, et cetera back then, so he was a godsend.
I had forgotten about the Henry Winkler show until someone posted about it. Back then, Rush was considered a fad that would soon pass!
Of course it would be a hit piece. I was attempting to be cute with using the “if a tree falls....does it make a sound” and adding my own twist...I failed.
