Thanks for mentioning the updates; those were always great. I think it was the hilarious environmental updatse where the intro had Slim Whitman singing Una Paloma Blanca while you hear explosions and gunfire and bombs whistling through the air. So over the top that I can still hear it in my head.
When we traveled you never knew where you could catch Rush on the closest radio station. This was between the times when there was internet, but no cellular. I’d get online and find the radio stations where Rush was, and put them on the paper map along our route so we wouldn’t have to search with the dial hoping to hear The Pretenders or Rush’s voice.
Now, you just grab your smart phone while traveling and the info is at your fingertips.
