I've often wondered how he got to Sacramento. He wasn't there long, but long enough to poke fun -- "For those of you in Rio Linda" was such a classic line and he used it for so many years! I've never heard how the people who live in Rio Linda take the ribbing, either.

He had SO many of those wonderful little lines like that and they all became part of his signature brand. Some came and went while others lasted for decades.

Mr. Leonard wrote: "Rush went to work at a radio station in Sacramento, KFBK. An ABC executive named Ed McGlaughlin was fogged in at the Sacramento airport and happened to tune into Rush on his transistor. He offered Rush a job in New York, in the 12 a.m.-6 a.m. time slot."

I didn't know that a fogged-in ABC exec just happened to be listening to Rush on his personal radio and that is what led Rush to move to NYC. Without that incredible serendipity, maybe we would never have known Rush!

My brother lived in and around Sacramento for many years. He says that many people in Rio Linda were druggies, ex-cons and other low-life types. It apparently was common to make jokes. Rush at least was not mean about it.

Rush talked about Ed McGlaughlin a bit. Had great respect for the man.

Though it may seem like serendipity to us, there is nothing serendipitous about what God planned all along.

The story of their corroboration is a little different than this fellow recalls.
