That explains the quacking-like tone of his voice, which is typical of how deaf people sound to others.

This is so sad.

Your compassion is overwhelming. An unfortunate choice of terms, don't you think?

"That explains the quacking-like tone of his voice, which is typical of how deaf people sound to others."

Pulleeeze! . . .and any others who characterize Rush's voice as damaged goods, so to speak; it simply is not true.

A little civility; not to mention 'fair and accurate'; would help. Of course, do understand, that it is in the 'ear' of the beholder. . .

Rush's voice has changed only slightly, a mellower timbre, I think. . .but for a 'famous' always recognizeable voice to his listeners; 'slight' change takes on a much larger dimension and impact.

The truth is, if you never had heard Rush until today, you would think he had a great radio voice. His voice sounds a little off the familiar tone, but no more than if he may have had an allergy or a slight cold. . .had thought both; also thought he had just changed 'up' perhaps, his 'Golden Microphone'.

Who could EVER have guessed, listening to him these past weeks and hearing him today, that this would be his news this afternoon.

Rush IS amazing. I know he will continue to amaze and inform us all.
