Hard to believe our beloved Rush has left us. I wake up everyday looking forward to him only to realize he's gone:-(
RIP ole boy. We will never forget you.
Ditto!
Yeah, I’ve had mixed feelings listening to Rush’s show since his passing; the fill-in hosts are doing a good job but listening to Rush’s voice fills me with both nostalgia and extreme sadness, sadness that we’ll never hear him again.
He be dead. Time to move on. That’s not to say you shouldn’t
be sadden and miss him. This is just a stage of humanity that
we all have to go thru.
Me neither!
in my family people tend to take one of two routes, you die at almost exactly 70 of cancer, or you live to around 100. Rush dying at 70 of cancer struck home.
my grandfather died from cancer (cigar smoker)
my father died from cancer (cigar smoker)
Rush was a cigar smoker.
No, it does not mean you WILL die from it if you smoke, but why? What is the benefit vs risk?
I occasionally smoke a pipe or cigar, and I do it because it pisses of nanny stater Leftists, and because it relaxes me...:)
There is, for me, benefit that justifies that risk, however small.
Rush would want us to support all of his successors, big-market or small. Remember, they’re not going to have as easy a time as they did when Rush so brilliantly set the agenda, and stations are going to be rethinking their programming without Rush in the weekday mix.
Rush taught us to be bold. Thanks, man!
The research I read said the majority of lung cancer was from raydon.
Remember a heck of a lot of nonsmokers and non- tobacco users also get lung cancer.

My aunt never smoked cigarettes and she died of lung cancer. Some people just draw the short end of the stick when it comes to cancer.

Same here only with booze instead of tobacco. I'm not much of a drinker but when I do indulge I picture liberal heads exploding because I'm choosing alcohol over pot, which is legal in my state.
I credit Rush with keeping me sane during the Clinton years-the first that I became politically aware.
I am grateful that I had the ability to send him “thank you” notes to tell him that before he died....prayerfully he was able to read them those months ago.
Ditto!
Plus!!!!
My Dad died 5 days before his 70th birthday from cancer and my Mom made it 100 + a month.
I don't remember when I first heard him, but do remember when I first heard of him. Always wanted to share with Rush, I read about him in a summer edition of Readers Digest 1988, I was an avid reader and a young Mother, I was in Kirkland, WA sitting on the side of a pool where all three of my children were taking swim lessons, been part of my life a long time.

Heh...I get that...:)
I met up with a whole bunch of Freepers at a protest down in DC a few years back, and after the protest, we all (about 20 of us) went to a Cigar Bar, and drank, ate, and...smoked cigars!
We all agreed that it was twice as much fun because it pissed of liberals that we could smoke cigars inside somewhere!
