Posted something similar when he was first diagnosed. Started listening while at A&M in 88. Bonded with my dad over things Rush said or brought up. Could not wait to hear his comments on events of the day. He made everything make sense.

Saved AM radio.
Animal rights updates.
Environmentalist wacko updates.
Feminist updates.

Paul Shanklin parody songs.
His CPAC speeches.
Largely responsible for Republican takeover of Congress in 94.
Introduced me to William Buckley, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell.
Snapple Tea.
My kids read Rush Revere.
Reciting the true story of Thanksgiving.
Mannheim Steamroller Christmas
