The Rush Chronicles

THe phone call came from Rush’s broither David at 9:30 tghat morning …

Yes, Rush became VERY “wealthy” thru his 32 year career as “America’s Anchor Man”. Here’s the REST of that story.

The EIB Southern Command Center was sold today. For Details ……….

My friendship with Rush Limbaugh … A heckuva “journey thru time” covering 40 years and many memories.

Before he knew Buckley and Reagan … Rush Knew Guglielmo Marconi. Rush learned How Radio Works & Why. And he became good at It. … Very Very Good! The Best!

Rush was “Mickie” of The Royals”.   We need somebody to ____.  Get Rush.  Rush did it very well. BUT The Business of Baseball is 99% The Players and The Game … It still is.

Over 32 years Rush played a pivotal role in many lives – pivotal to The Good … when Rush found something he liked, he wanted to share with his audience.

Rush loved the stuff and started raving about it on-air … SNAPPLE sales went thru the roof … all from “a harmless little fuzzball” on the radio. Those Snapple Guys made many mega bucks… Thanks to Rush!
