I get the impression it was probably the other way around...late last week, Rush told callers he was in a "really bad mood," but refused to say why. Something made me wonder if Rush and Marta were about to split, and now we have this announcement. Having someone drop divorce papers on you will definintely darken one's mood. For some reason, that made me think of one of Johnny Carson's classic lines when he was going through one of his divorces in the early 80s. "I just heard from my cat's lawyer," Carson announced one evening, "He wants $2000 a month for Tender Vittles."

I wonder how much Marta plans to extract from Rush? She has long had a reputation for high living and spending. After their marriage, she supervised the "redecoration" of Rush's apartment of NYC, and I've heard that she was the driving force behind their move to Florida. Also, perhaps someone can clarify this for me: is it true that Marta (at one time) either lost custody or surrendered custody of her kids from a previous marriage?

Something tells me this divorce will become very public and nasty....
