I would have heard this at the time (2005) as I had Rush on the radio at my desk in CA
I was working in SF in the 80s. One of the guys came in from the road and said: you got to listen to this guy in Sacramento, I know you would love him.
I just mentioned to my wife yesterday, I MISS Rush. I well up whenever I read his wife’s book about him. No one, ever IMO, will ever approach his pull. Often imitated never duplicated.
The one I recall was some clown arguing for universal healthcare. Rush said to him why not ask your neighbor to pay your medical bills. The dope was dumb enough to say I doubt he would do that. Rush followed up with and neither do I.
I’d like to have all his shows on a fire stick so I could walk wear it on a necklace-unlimited access.
I remember Rush arguing against Hillary’s health care plan...I was told about him by one of the guys who was a student my husband was training at our flying club in OC..never stopped listening to Rush UNTIL we moved out of CA. Too late to catch here in GA at noon with the day well on its way to more productive things.
Watched one of those “Unforgettable” murder stories on TV last week and Rio Linda played a part in it...LOL..and no joking - a real trash heap of a house and trailer..
Thanks for the tip about Rush’s wife’s book. I’ll have to look for it. I didn’t know she had written one. I just placed an order with thriftbooks.com for 10 used books so I’ll have to be content with those for awhile....
I say we FReepers have to get together on our love of books - recommendations etc. From what I see, there aren’t a lot of book lovers here - we can have our own little book club...
