I started listening to Rush after a trip to Austin TX. I was reading their local commie rag newspaper, and came across an article which accused Rush of spewing hate. I knew what that meant: that Rush was saying the truth in a world that has criminalized the truth.
I listened to him regularly after that, whenever I was able to.
My hands are no longer nicotine-stained either, and the billowing clouds of cigar smoke have mostly subsided, and I can’t afford to tie half my brain (need it all) behind my back, but my memories of the words of wisdom from El Rushbo have not faded.
Excellent comments bro.. Hard to believe that Austin has become an equivalent of San Francisco.
