I have an Aunt like that right now, 94 still smokes and drinks. I can’t figure out how she is still alive.
He also smoked those electronic cigarettes that are full of nicotine.
Another FReeper that spouts his opinion as if were a fact.
You issue a declarative statement that the fact that Rush smoked cigars, was the reason he developed lung cancer, and he died 10 years before his time.
How does it feel to have God's knowledge?
I am so sick of idiots like you, with opinions running to the keyboard as if they knew what in the hell they were bloviating about.
Apology for your denigration of Rush's actions, accepted.
I will not ride motorcycles due to the danger. Not too worried about myself but rather morons in 4 wheelers and bigger who don’t give a crap and will blow through a redlight without giving a thought to it. Loved bikes growing up too. Shame.
Indeed, and that was an idiotic opinion made by an idiot.
He has no way of knowing what caused Rush to develop cancer, yet he, and so many more, spout the same crap.
That’s beautiful, but at the same time it give me a bit of an Alice in Wonderland caterpillar vibe.
I think it’s a beautiful, almost surreal work of art. As far as the cigar discussion goes, Rush’s prime years of his adult life was lived earning 30 million dollars a year and smoking high-end cigars and doing what he loved. And in his final years he got to know and love Christ as well as his beautiful wife Kathryn. And then he passed and left an extraordinary legacy. I call that a life very well lived that I would bet Rush wouldn’t change one second of.
I smoke a pipe a few times a month, and an occasional cigar, maybe three or four a year. Don’t inhale either, that would be insanity, IMO.
I always tell the story about a road trip I took about seven years ago. I had a huge amount of vacation saved up, and my wife was working a job with only a couple of weeks, so I had to use some vacation time or I was going to lose it, so with her blessing and generous permission to use “house money”...I went on a week long road trip with no destination and no reservations.
How great is that?
Anyway, my first stop was at a cigar store right off the highway in Pennsylvania. I saw the sign from the highway, and had immediate visions of seeing America with the windows rolled down, elbow sticking out the window, music blaring, no destination, and...a big cigar in my mouth!
I don’t know much about cigars, so when I went in, I explained that I don’t know much about cigars, I wanted to buy about ten of them, not too expensive, and not too strong.
The person rounded up a bunch of cigars, threw them into a bag with a cigar cutter and some boxes of matches, I paid my money and walked out into the bright noonday sun.
My car was parked right near a terrace that had a lot of people sitting on it, enjoying their cigars, basking in the sun.
Before I got in the car, I chose a cigar from my bag, snipped off the end, stuck it in my mouth, and looking suave and debonair, cupped my hand and started flaming up the cigar. I was probably thinking how cool I looked to all those people up there.
As the cigar began to glow, the box of matches popped straight up out of my hand, and little wooden matchsticks created a man-made blizzard in front of my face.
Now, I am not foolish enough to inhale cigar smoke. But I had a mouthful of it, preparing to stylishly exhale it in a cloud to complete the effect, when the matchsticks launched from my hand.
I involuntarily inhaled in a gasp of surprise.
Next thing I knew, I was bent at a 90 degree angle at my waist, face turned towards the ground, cigars and matchsticks arrayed on my ground in my field of view, coughing as if both lungs were determined to exit my body and sever the surly bonds of attachment to my physical being.
I think I turned a dark forest green color.
I can only imagine the amusement those folks above must have enjoyed watching that spectacle.
I shoved all the cigars in my glove compartment. For the rest of the trip, every time I opened it for anything, the cigars stared accusingly at me, as if I was punishing them by confining them in there instead of letting them bless America with their smoke.
I didn’t smoke another cigar until about six months later...
That’s funny as hell! lol!
God bless her. No sense in quitting now!!! My 83 year old mother gets mad at me for buying my 87 year old father cookies, candy bars and donuts — the man has a sweet tooth!! I tell her if he wants to take up smoking, I’m buying him a pack of cigarettes!!
I have a beautiful classic BMW, I used to love riding it everywhere. With people constantly being distracted by phones and everything else, it became way too dangerous to ride it anymore.
When you say idiotic things, you’re an idiot.
Indeed, and that was an idiotic opinion made by an idiot.
He has no way of knowing what caused Rush to develop cancer, yet he, and so many more, spout the same crap.

MAYBE HE’S BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH MY WIFE. SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING. SHE TELLS ME SO.
“Frequently wrong, but never in doubt.”
No, he quit smoking cigarettes when he was around 30 years old, in 1980 or 81.

I know of a guy near where I grew up who although he is quite elderly I suspect still owns a 1967 R75? I think it is....either 600 or 650cc. I think maybe he had new pipes put on it and the carbs rebuilt once. That’s about it.
I thought I was such a smooth operator!
