August 1, 1988. Listening to Mighty 690 out of New Orleans. Was an oldies station. Went to a talk format and Rush debuted. Loved hearing him from the first moment I heard him.
I was searching the radio dial in 1988 looking for conservative talk. Keith Rush was on one station, Jack Wyle on another. Picked up Rush on WTIX the mighty 690. Don’t think it was the first day but it was at a time when he was on only two hours. I got to go to two of his Rush to Excellence tours. The first was at the Superdome. It was at a conference room. Small and intimate setting. Admission was the purchase of a ticket to a college baseball game which entitled me to see the great Maharishi.
