But you noticed that the music fell off, and also the Paul Shanklin skits which were hilarious. Maybe Shanklin charged too much. So the show evolved into a daily political discussion with fewer tangents into Apple products and cigars. (which may have contributed to Rush’s health problems.)
I agree. I noticed the gradual erosion or absence of things that had once made his program compelling. I’ve been curious what the reasons were, especially with Shanklin who was a major talent. Hard to imagine that Rush couldn’t afford him but who knows what the backstory may have been.
