But are you a listener? I think it is laughable when those that do not listen and are not fans demand that he explain himself. He owes them NOTHING. He is not a public official, people are free to listen or not, as they choose.

A couple of other points I've been wanting to make:

1) Although they indeed may cause loss of appetite, I've never heard of anyone using narcotics (opiates) to loose weight.

2) Pain management is a tricky business. We, as a society, want people to be medicated satisfactorily for pain, but we never want anyone to become addicted. If Rush started using drugs, I'm sure they were indicated and prescribed.

...Couldn't have said it better!

...I am a long time Rush fan and Rush doesn't OWE me anything. If anything I OWE him.

I have listened to Rush since around 1989 in the New York market on his flagship station WABC. I have been a fan and defender of Rush. I think he's been instrumental in giving conservatism confidence. I do think he strayed a bit from his original message: condom updates; gays; and abortion. Those were the topics that I most appreciated hearing about from him; they were the topics about which he was most shocking and funny. V's wife.
