I remember the first time I heard him, he was on TV. I was coming in from a late job and my brother screams to me at the door, "GET IN HERE AND LISTEN TO THIS GUY". We were both gobsmacked because he talked just like our grandparents, aunts and uncles talked. We always felt so weird being a conservative family. LOL HE BELIEVED WHAT WE DID!!!! Yes! We never heard anything like it before. It was awesome. It was like discovering a whole new planet or a vaccine for a painful illness. LOL
I've been listening for 20 years and now my kids listen to him every afternoon. We have to hurry and finish school in the morning because he comes on at 12:00. We plan our homeschool day around his show. LOL My kids tenderly call him "Uncle Rush". He is well loved by my children.
I love it when he says something cool and my kids scream with joy or delight. It's just a special, happy moment with my kids to see them "getting it" and watching their minds be provoked and challenged by THE great conservative mind.
So anyway, I wish my kids could meet him. He seems so private though, I would be embarrassed to bother him with a request.
Thank you for sharing that, I enjoy hearing others’ experiences. I remember his show from when I was a kid; my grandparents and parents watched it all the time. When I first got married, my husband was not happy that I listened to Rush. He was skeptical and had no interest. Four years later, my husband is a registered Repub and listens to talk radio all the time, haha!
I would not want to bother him either; I’m sure he gets enough nutjob emails and calls. But he’d be a fascinating person to have dinner with!
