    one year and one week since Rush Limbaugh last sat behind the Golden EIB microphone

    Actually it was apparently February 2. I remember one of his last comments was ridiculing President Biden for being afraid to travel in 1/2 an inch of snow. I think I listened to part of that final show in my car.

    Just got James Golden’s book on Kindle. Am looking forward to reading it. So grateful to him for making it possible for Rush to do what he did. Without the right support/ facilitator, people like Rush Limbaugh “die with their music still inside them” as the saying goes.

    Also, Rush’s asides to Bo Snerdley were some of the most inspired moments of the show.

    I occasionally listen to Bo now that he has his own radio show in NYC. He's pretty good in his own right. Boy it was great to hear Rush's voice again. I still find it hard to believe he is gone from the earth. He was the absolute best.
