Wow. what a day. Lost another childhood hero.
Rush Limbaugh. Wow.
I know, I know...some of you might hate on me because of this one, but I lived on AM radio during long road trips and if Rush was on, I was there! He wasn't a Christian singer, not a preacher, not a Bible thumper - but still a major contributor to lives around the world and influenced the way I communicate today.
Rest well Rush. Your fight is over.
@sinbach
I so much agree. I first listened when the show was new and I still had small kids at home. Finally someone was pushing back on a national platform! Year after year he was there to steady our nerves as we saw the culture going downhill. Can't believe that big voice is gone; he will be greatly missed. Let's pray for his brother David Limbaugh, who is a devout Christian, and all the family.
@lynnexxa he shook the world through AM talk radio. AM radio was supposed to be dead! FM, TV, Cable, the Internet - those were the major outlets for media - BUT Rush brought power through the AM radio. AM talk radio grew so powerful with him as a voice, that the left tried to shut it down, control it and create regulations. it takes a special gift to draw crowds like he did on an outdated medium.
@lynnexxa yes
