In Summer of ‘88 I was driving in eastern New York state on my way to central Mass. I caught a strong radio signal out of New York City and listened to the most dynamic radio personality with the most dynamic political message I had ever heard previously — and that included RReagan. He was a radio newbie and I passed the word in Worcester, Acton and Boxboro that there was a new radio guy really worth listening to. Two years later I returned, and Rush Limbaugh owned that part of Massachusetts.
Rush is still very much alive. The past tense crap is creepy.
I listened to Rush from his first day radio broadcast on KFBK in Sacramento. I was hooked from the first fifteen minutes. I remember how hilarious his faux commercials were, of which he ran many, because at first he had few sponsors and needed to fill the air time. I miss those now. Ah, "Spatula City. . . Great bargains on spatulas!" Or the instant Super Bargain, Door buster, 10 second sales ads that required you to be there right now to buy, or they were over, that never told you where or what was on sale! Too many sponsors now, so no faux ads. Hilarious!
Rush is one of a kind and he has to keep going.
