The show should not be about the past but the FUTURE of conservatism, not just continuing re-runs of Rush Limbaugh’s monologues.
The danger is When listeners feel the show is about the past, they will stop listening.
Rush always said he didn’t want it “to be all about him.” I don’t think he would rest peacefully if his audience were drifting away because everyone who runs the show is afraid of it not being all about him.
I have no idea what the big plan is for the future, but it had better appear soon. The people running the show have to affirmatively break with the current maudlin tone and declare Rush’s wake over — none of us will love him any less. The owners are frittering away the fruits of all his work.
I’ve been a Rush 24/7 member for ages. But I find the current program impossible to listen to. Get the feeling his widow is calling the shots now and she’s not competent in radio. I won’t even turn it on any more. It is a waste of time.
As a listener since 1998, I miss the Big Guy. A lot.
But he is gone, and we are still here. So are our kids and grandkids.
We need to make sure the lessons he taught and fought for get carried on; he trained a whole generations of us - and other talk show hosts - how to fight back.
Mourn... yeah, I’m very sad we lost him. It sucks and it hurts, like losing family. But We all have an expiration date; the very least we can do is take what we learned and move the ball forward, like he did every day right up to the end.
He deserves that from us.
Agreed.
I tend to agree. IT would be like listening to Paul Harvey retapings.
I really can’t listen to the reruns of Rush, for one reason, we’ve heard him, and he’s repeated his opinions.
THe problem is no one can take his place. You want to call it the Rush Limbaugh Show, that’s fine and that’s all you need to do to keep Rush’s memory.
I like just about all the replacement guys. Would love to have Trump do a segment, if not as MC then in an interview.
I’ve already stopped listening. The program used to be about current issues. Now it’s just replaying old shows with the guest hosts all falling over themselves to worship at the shrine so they’ll be elevated to permanent host. None of them is as good as Rush, of course. Mark Steyn is excellent and it’s because he’s being himself and bringing his own perspective. The only other possibility is Mark Levin but he’s stated that he doesn’t want to leave his own radio time slot.
I have already stopped listening. Put Trump on a couple of times a week, and then DJT Jr a couple times a week.
but no Mark Steyn......
I’ve already made the switch to Dennis Prager.
