I distinctly recall the day I first heard Rush on the radio.
I was sitting in my car in a parking lot, outside of a shopping mall in Laurel, Maryland, eating my lunch.
I became a fan; and later, my formerly apolitical husband - to whom I introduced Conservatism - became an even more fervent fan.
It’s been sad here today. I know several people who have been able to get through the craziness of the last few years - and especially the past one - due to the common sense and ‘grounded-ness’ of Rush.
In the days when we could always find him on the radio, we never really thought that someday, Rush wouldn’t be there anymore. He was a ‘force of Nature’, and even during the past year, with all he was going through, he was strong and no different from the past. As President Trump has said, ‘You wouldn’t know’ the extent of what Rush was going through, to hear his radio show over the past year.
R.I.P., Rush. You are an American Hero.
