Is it ok to ask how many people listen to RUSH ?

[Cooter Brown]

Thread drift here but I'm really gonna miss Neal Boortz. He's funny and smart and consistent and logical, which many others aren't. He also does a lot better job of letting people with opposing views get their point across without interrupting them, but at the same time he won't suffer a fool.

I think a lot of the fun of it went out for him when Royal Marshall died. They were a good pair. When he announced his retirement he said one of the factors was that Royal's dying made him think if he really wanted to spend what time he had left behind a mike.

Glad to see there are other Boortz fans. He's going to do a daily 2 minute commentary during the Herman Cain show.

Not the biggest Rush fan. The ego thing is a bit much and he's often logically inconsistent. But in small doses he can be entertaining.

 

[PatAz]

Not at all.

 

[PowerGuy]

I like their music, especially, Tom Sawyer!

 

[1911a2bphil]

They are in my top 5 rock groups of all time.

 

[Fishslayer]

Very small doses & depends on the topic. His staff is great at gathering info & he puts it out there OK. The "Sniff of Superiority" and the "Stammer of Intelligent Exasperation" are just too much.

I used to be a regular listener until I realized that he was taking his schtick seriously. He really is a self important jack***. I would group him in with that British twit on TV, except I don't ever watch the Brit at all.

 

[bgrafsr]

I can hardly wait to change the channel if he's on.

Absolutely, but then again, I don't listen to any of the talking heads. I have more important things to do, like watch ice melt or the grass grow.

 

[JOERM]

I take it that it was OK to ask. Do you listen to him?

 

[pharmer]

I like Beck 9-noon and Rush noon-3. Unfortunately I'm working every day during those hours. Joe

 

[DeathGrip]

Beck's album Blow By Blow was great.

 

[kozmic]

Often! I cranked "Workin' Man" this morning on my way in. Made the trip seem much quicker. I love getting looks from nearby cars as my 1100 watts of JL Audio is thumpin' at 6:00 am. It gets my blood flowing.

Oh wait. What?, Oh him....Yeah, he's ok too. Rush is a bit pompous for me but he's usually spot on and is sometimes quite humorous.

When the "liberalfication of America" is absolutely everywhere in the media you have to listen to Rush, et el. just to keep your sanity!

I hate to shoot the messenger. Especially when he's carrying my message!!!!!

 

[USAF385]

Nah... He's too loud, angry, hypocritical, egotistical, and often spews misinformation... And that's just when he's NOT on pain meds.

I do appreciate some of his views and opinions however. In general though, I can't stand him....

I started listening to him again recently. I am home with just me and the dogs most days and have the radio on most of the time while working around the house. I am not a dedicated fan but he and Hannity have been the only con voices to the legions of media types and politicians jumping on the "gun violence" wagon that I hear over the airwaves. I am sure they are just doing what will bring them a bigger audience but I still would rather listen to that than PBS...I used to listen to that a lot...and the other idiots who want to blame all our woes on the evil guns. I ceased watching the local and national CBS News programs because my blood pressure can't take it anymore.

I have the proud honor of living the next town over from Rio Linda. Really. But there is no town ordnance here saying every yard has to have a car on blocks in the front yard like Rio Linda has.

 

[rags]

Xanadu from the Farewell to Kings album is my favourite.

DUDE! Are you my brother?

 

[jdh]

Retire? Does that mean he is going to stop talking?

Just won't be doing it on the radio 5 days a week, 5 hours a day.

 

[jdh]

Can't stand him. Won't listen to him.
He's a hypocrite.

If you don't listen you know this how?

Limbaugh's show is formatted to be listened to in short segments. Though there are some people who do, most working people don't listen to the whole show every day. Because of the show's sound bite format if you listened to the whole show every day there would be some repetition.

I tell you who I really miss on the air, and that's Paul Harvey. What a class act he was!

 

[A1U]

Rush the band- Every Day

Rush the Limbaugh-On Occasion.

His themes/rants can get kind of redundant, but I agree with him most of the time.

 

[JOERM]

Reguardless of what anyone might think of him just know he is on our side, period. Yes, he used to take med's for his back pain, get over it. Yes, he makes money, so what? Telling me you don't make money when you work? He employs about 120 people.

 

[johngalt]

I used to but got tired of it. G Gordon Liddy had a good radio show.

 

[longranger]

I thought Michael Savage had a good show but no longer on the air where I live.

I heart radio app is pretty sweet, KSFO560 online or i heart. Best educated dude on the radio.

 

[pownal55]

I listen to Rush but can't honestly say I like the man. His voice is needed when there is so much coming at us from the liberal side.

 

[dogdoc]

I listen some and agree with him most of the time. The man makes sense if you listen to him. Some of his bravado is for entertainment. He is a great conservative voice. If you are conservative , it is hard to argue with his message.

[Steely Dan]

I listen to Limbaugh.

I always "heard" he was a blow hard until I started listening to him.

I started realizing that I agreed with him most of the time.

...............................

Rush the band? Yep, like them as well.

But I have a very simple, logical question...........

Why is Rush and Public Enemy (among others) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and NOT The Marshall Tucker Band?!?!?!?!

 

[Stevens]

Seldom I'm nearing my quota.

[Stophel]

I stopped listening to him years ago, even before the Oxycontin scandal. He's just a neocon cheerleader for the Republican party.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I listened to Rush when I lived in California in 1988 when he started. He's long winded but brings a lot of information to us that would never be revealed otherwise. The media sure won't. Here in Oregon I listen to Lars Larson. He's on our side for sure.

 

[Fishslayer]

I like their music, especially, Tom Sawyer!

I am not kidding. It was years before I knew that those "Rush is Right" stickers weren't referring to the band.

My fave is Red Barchetta. The lyrics are just as meaningful today as ever. Maybe more so.

Can you believe that I had to explain to a classic rock DJ in Vegas what a Red Barchetta was and why it is so called.

 

[TACC1]

Used to listen to Rush all the time, 'til I caught the message.
Whatever news you hear or read, think about the agenda of
the people telling the story. Works for libs or conservatives.
Now that I drive a lot, I get upset by the stuff that's going on.
Classic country/rock works for me.
