Glad to have tuned into what may have been his last show. I think it’s a day to day type situation for him and his chances of being strong enough to resume his show after the New Year are probably not realistic. Been listening to Rush going back to the late 1980’s when he first started up with ABC Radio Network in NYC. That’s 30 plus years.
I remember so well that first day listening to him on ABC radio. One of the first things he said, was that he didn’t have guests. I looked right at the radio and said” how long will you last Bub? Boy was I wrong!! Rush just needed to be himself. He didn’t need guests. What a guy! My prayers continue for him.
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.
