I always thought Rush’s show quality was great diminished it by the endless commercials.
Also, announcing a topic he’d discuss early in one hour, but holding it over to the next.
Getting addicted to opiods when recovering from back surgery was the beginning of the descent from his peak ability, in my opinion. But as diminished as he was near the end, there wasn’t anyone whose opinion of the days events I wanted to hear more. Clay and Buck, as good as they are, have yet to hold my attention the way Rush did. Even in his last days.
