"I think Rush is starting to grow old. There are people who don't want to hear about golf and the NFL."

Why this urban myth is perpetuated is beyond me. As an almost "professional" Rush listener for well over a decade, I fail to see why this golf and NFL garbage is still bandied about as contemporary truth.

While Rush touched on these topics quite a bit during his few early years, he dropped doing it almost to a non-existent point. Now when he discusses golf, it's to mention a charity golf affair he's going to or had just participated in. Plus, if you notice, he mentions the NFL and upcoming games mostly at the end of each Open Line Friday show during football season. Rush knows his football, and it's fun to get his few inside comments on the upcoming Sunday games.

If a listener faults Rush for something he hasn't done in ages.......or if a listener can't take a few minutes of interesting sports news from him once in a while, I recommend banishment to the minors (listening to Allah Bin Air America) as a well-deserved penalty for roughing the quarterback.

Bottom line is the fact that Rush refuses to carry the water for the extremist, boring one-note-sambas (on the right and on the left) no matter how hard they bombard him with their agenda demands about what they think he should be talking about.

They become IRATE when they can't manipulate him into allowing them access to the largest radio audience anywhere to get "their message out" the way they are able to manipulate talk show hosts that aren't nearly as popular.

I've been a daily listener to Rush since the first day I ever heard his program around 1990. I listen to him because he's upbeat, optimistic, and funny. He talks about the stuff that interests "HIM", and he usually has a unique "take" on the events of the day. Most of the time the stuff that interests him, interests "ME". He's #1 in talk radio, so that says it all. He's a target for the jealous.
