I had a complete change of opinion or reawakening about Rush today. He is phenomenal. Thank you Rush.
A lot of fans tapered off when he went (temporarily) deaf. The whole feel of the program changed, and it really affected the quality for a year or two.
There is the everyday Rush, and the passionate Rush that appears when nobody else is saying something that needs to be said. When he is like that, there is really no one better in the media, on either side.
