I like Rush ( started before gulf war I ) but it's time to take it like man.
He should have got help before it became public knowledge if it's that important to him to manage his image.

That said I do think he is being persucuted strictly because of who he is.

Haven't heard much about the beautiful and gracious Marta lately.

Good point. Top play devil's advocate, I have to say the unpopular, but obvious truth.

Rush has become a victim of the drug war. A drug war he has supported for years.

I'm sure his human reaction would be to reiterate the ubiquitous propaganda about "those kind of drugs" while constructing apologetics for his medically approved choice of drug.

But he would be in quite a conundrum to approach the basic issue at hand, which is that people should have the right to decide for themselves what drugs are appropriate for recreational and/or medicinal purposes.

William F Buckley has honestly reconsidered his position....perhaps Rush may have found such a catalyst for his personal change.
