I can vividly recall the street I was driving on when I first heard Rush on KFI when he began on that station. I had the impression from reading about him that he was an obnoxious blowhard, and I knew nothing else about him. I was used to people like Michael Jackson (the radio host, not the other one), and Rush was SO different.

It took a few times to "get" it, it was hard to figure out how to take him at first, but it became clear that we spoke the same language, only he was saying it out loud and spreading the word!

I had the pleasure of being a Section Leader on CIS when he had his own topic on the ISSUES forum, early 90's. He was gracious and friendly, and I have a great deal of respect for him. I don't think anyone can dispute that he forever changed the face of conservative politics in this country.

Ah, early memories of Rush. I remember the first time I stumbled across him, in LA. I was listening to this guy who made a lot of sense, for a few minutes...then he identified himself as Rush. I said, That's Rush Limbaugh? I had an entirely different impression--which came, of course, from his enemies.
