It’s been just over seven months since radio legend Rush Limbaugh died - and eight since signing off for his final show on February 2, 2021.
Radio personalities come and go, sometimes quietly and even mysteriously. At times, station managers invoke soviet-era tactics, surreptitiously making talent changes overnight. It’s the nature of the business, not wanting to promote another station or call attention to a departing personality. One day a host is advertising a local car dealership, the next day they’re gone. Explanations are rarely given – they’re into the ether and out of our lives.
But not Rush.
A fixture on the dial for over 30 years, Rush Limbaugh was woven into the fabric of weekday radio life. Critics couldn’t stand him, but they couldn’t ignore him either. No matter where you were in America, you could find him somewhere mid-morning or early afternoon, the familiar beat of “The Pretenders” opening each hour of every show. Regardless of what was happening in the world, you could be sure he had an informed opinion about it.
Those of us who listened were often accused of being mind-numbed robots, waiting on and taking our marching orders from Limbaugh. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. Rush didn’t tell us what to think – he simply articulated the principles we already believed and used his massive megaphone to encourage others to stand strong.

So do I.
Every day......................................
Yep. He would be having so much fun this past 90 days as the progressive house collapses on itself.
Missin him BIG TIME over here
Like Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain, he was a talent that comes along only once in a century. He is irreplaceable.
He would have loved the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme.
Me too. When Rush crossed over, it was the end of an era.
Younger generations will probably not ‘love’ the radio the way we and prior generations loved and needed it.
“I turned off my radio the day Rush died...”
I admit I’ve tried to listen to various hosts but NONE are worth spit. Rush was a unique talent—on loan from God.
I REALLY miss Rush I listen to Bannon but Rush had humor that was unbeatable!! I wonder all the time what the hell Rush would be saying about the state of things today!! I am very happy he is not alive to see this mess OR to have witnessed an election stolen he truly loved this country it would have broken his heart!!
I did too for a while. but now I listen to Chris Plante on WMAL. Really good and funny, but not Rush.
I bet you miss Ronald Reagan, too, huh?
What, exactly, did Reagan or Limbaugh do to prevent the disaster that we face today?
Conservatism has conserved nothing. Time for something new.
And many others. They may not be perfect conservatives, some are reformed liberals, some don't even consider themselves to be conservative, but they're getting the word out.
