I'm more familiar with Paul Shanklin's parody ...

The bathroom floor is a common place where many people die when they die at home.

My father died there, and he didn’t take drugs or have a drinking problem.

People who have health problems and are near their end lie around in bed or in a recliner and get up to go to the bathroom. Their heart was giving out and gives out when they do something normal—get up to go to the bathroom— that they did thousands of times without a problem. Any exertion at that particular moment of time is akin to running a marathon in -10 degree weather.

..... Thanx for posting ...... Rush and Shanklin ... Always kept me smiling. So sad that that era passed with Rush ... I had hopes the humor and parodies would continue after he left us ... Sadly .... Not.

.... Miss u Rush .....

There will be other chances. Pro tip: the more time you spend in there, the better your odds.

I only knew him from the Gangsta’s Paradise song, itself, but the guy grew up not too far from where I grew up, and not too many years later. I’m an old white guy these days and not generally a lover of Rap, but that song is on my phone and listened to several times a month.

OK, it’s weird, I know, but I also like Amish Paradise!

Rest in Peace, man!

He’s was the VP candidate on porn star Cherie DeVille’s 2020 bid for the Dem nomination.

Well he was more qualified than Commie-La.

I hate to see anyone die, but I am not surprised.

It might be hard to recognize when someone “like” Rush comes along again because the thing that made Rush great is that he wasn’t like anyone else.

Just a thought. Glad you liked the post.
