As much as I love Dan’s spirit and presentation, he just doesn’t have the pizzaz and depth that Rush had (who does?). Rush got to the issues beyond “the issue.” He dug much deeper, unlike the surface commentators we almost always hear today.
I really tried to give Dan a chance, for about six months or so, but he just doesn’t do it for me. Not sure if it’s the constant (to me) gloom and doom, or what. I do know that Rush would NEVER have said, at ANY time, that he didn’t want to do his show that day. I was pretty much over Dan when I heard him say this a month or so ago. I’ve discovered Markley, Van Camp and Robbins, and like them in his time slot. Nobody will EVER replace Rush. Damn I miss him!
