I absolutely loved his TV show and was devastated when it ended. I thought he was perfect for tv and there was so much imagination, fun and verve in those shows. I recorded them on videotape every night and watched them the next morning while exercising.
I first heard Rush when he was in Sacramento, CA on KFBK. Listened once and was hooked. Also, he described how he quit smoking, cold turkey by listing all the BENEFITS of quittIng. Until then all we heard were the DANGERS. Right then and there I quit after being a smoker for 50 years. Later I listened to him up in Reno, NV.
