“Because nothing he ever did had any value.” etc.
I remember when the conventional wisdom was that AM radio was a thing of the past, destined to just fade out.
Then somebody turned up on AM, changed the political dynamic and cultural battleground, and in the process revived the AM dial. When Gwen Carter Clements can point to a similar legacy, then she can lecture me about Rush Limbaugh.
I was a young scull full of mush driving across the fruited plain from my summer internship back to college in aug 1988. I did one of those things a young man might do while alone but not tell his friends about - yes, i tuned into AM radio.
I heard a brilliant man giving eloquence to my still forming thoughts. I figured he was someone local and I’d never hear of him again.
A year or so later my girlfriend and I saw a billboard advertising his show. She said he sounded like someone I’d like listening to.
Amen!
Good Lord, people talk about Rush all the time. More importantly, they remember him all the time.
How nutty to say he created an empire that no one else can match, and say that means he isn't important. Oxymoronic. And just plain moronic. .
