Rush has always been honest and forth coming with his audience. If this had been his last show he would have told us that it was.
When I heard his comments on the expiration date, I did not read that as he has been given six months to live. I read it as he will eventually regardless of how hard he fights succumb to cancer. The doctors gave my mother five years, she died damn near exactly five years to the day given. That is cancer. I suspect he knows his time is near maybe six months maybe a year or maybe a little more. But he is closer to God today then yesterday.
I believe that if he cannot do the show anymore he will come on the air and tell us his viewers are a part of his family. However, if it were me, I would come on the air, make the show one of my best ever, sign off as usual. Leave us with one last slam bang finish. Rush is a bit of an entertainer.
But, leave the wakes and the eulogy for that day when it comes. I thought he looked tired but healthier then I have seen him in a while. So until he tells us goodbye until he tells us he is signing off, I expect to listen to him next year.
I tend to agree, he’d have told us if it was his last show. I think it’s obviously gotten harder for him to do the show and massive prep he doesn’t (stack of stuff) .... Rush is a fighter...
I’d give anything to have 1 minute to be able to tell him thank you..
The last thirty years I’ve listened and learned. He’s shaped my life more then anyone..
