As a young guy in radio at exactly that same wonderful time, I can relate to all of this. What a great post, thank you. Being on-air myself with an afternoon AM rock show and my own comments and fake commercials (the station owner — a Dickensian gem of a man who started in radio in the 50’s fresh out of the service — once smilingly told me, “I never listen from one to six.”), I would never fire Rush ... But I ended up doing double-duty, my afternoon show and engineering Rush’s broadcast from nine to noon Pacific on the FM, where I learned so much from the Maha-Rushie. :) ) ... Just beautiful times. Thank you, Rush. Radio rules. Still.
Ditto.
Loving the stories of Rush people are speaking about.
