Rush Limbaugh has passed

I rarely listened to him, and if I did it was only for a few minutes. I hate all the commercials on talk radio. To me it makes it un-listenable.
I had a CO that liked him and turned me on to it. He was hilarious unless you took him seriously, which obviously many did
 
I won't speak ill of the dead. Instead, I'll elect to choose a quote of his that stuck with me, especially on a day like today.

"Just another dead doper."
-Rush, on Jerry Garcia
Yeah, that's why it's laughable that he was a Christian. That he raised a ton for charity is the only reason he even made it to purgatory. Garcia was an infinitely better human being than Rush
 
Andrew Breitbart: How Rush Limbaugh Inspired Me

Rush-Limbaugh-640x480.jpg


The following is a short excerpt from Andrew Breitbart’s 2011 memoir, Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!, discussing how Rush Limbaugh inspired his embrace of conservative principles and American patriotism.
 
2013 at the University of the South in Sewanee. Saw him with Stanley Jordan at the Blue Note. Currently listening to "light as a feather". Stanley Clarke is an amazing bass player. Easily one of the best of all time

I got a chance to see Clarke with his band SMV in 2008 in California. SMV was a bass super group with Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten. I have played the guitar for over 20 years and consider myself pretty good. I have guitar lessons for a few years. But seeing those guys play bass made me feel like I should never touch a stringed instrument again. Just simply amazing.

I love Victor. Have met him on several occasions. His work with Bela is phenomenal

Farewell, Rush Limbaugh: A Voice Like No Other

The man with talent on loan from God now confronts Him directly, to return the loan. And maybe to hear an Almighty “mega dittos?” We hope that awaiting Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is the promise of divine succor, of a joy unworldly, one transcending the airwaves that for a generation and then some carried his special, enthusiastic voice — which daily spoke and propagated words of common sense that instructed (mostly: there was always verbiage reserved for trolling humorless liberals and castigating the enemies of this last best hope of Earth) and inspired — that indeed became the premier voice of conservatism. A consummate patriot, a happy warrior and a Cassandra too, an entertainer, the man of shtick and humility who day in and out, over decades, informed and formed millions, who connected with them in such numbers never before experienced, has passed away after a prolonged and brutal battle with cancer. His death comes as no surprise, but having come, it brings with it deserved sorrow and reflection. We assume too calumny from the graceless and the grave dancers.
