I agree we need to hear a strong voice on radio. Rush saved radio for a reason.
Rush is gone. It feels like a personal loss to me. But he is gone. It leaves a void that will never be filled. But we need to take what he taught us and carry it forward each in our own way and not look for someone to be a Rush clone.
For me this means being positive and seeing the humor in situations on my own without depending on his daily dose of optimism. I hope, like you, one or two people will emerge to publicly carry the flag for us.
I miss him.
