After 9/11 Rush referred to Peter Jennings quoting the man on one of the planes that helped attack the hijackers. The actual quote was “Let’s roll” but Jennings said “let us roll”. Rush said “let US roll Peter?! roll what Peter? A roll of hay? Roll a joint?”
Peter Jennings died of lung cancer too. Died within months of diagnosis.
First time hearing him as he spoke of women farding in their cars.
I first listened to Rush in 1989, I had just had my fourth child as a stay at home mom, and my mother called me and said “you have to listen to this guy! Find a radio station!”. Well, I could not find a station right away, (I was in rural LA), so I called my mother back, I told her that I had no luck finding a station (I later did and listened every day), and she put her phone up to her radio, and let me listen over the phone for the next hour!
