I didn't put this in the Cave because I am hoping that politics aside one can't deny that he was a force of nature. May he rest in peace.

I just saw this on a news app on my phone. His deterioration was held close to the vest. You're right about his influence...in talk radio in general.

Back in the day, I traveled from my home (at the time) in Redlands, CA to Yucca Valley, CA, Monday thru Saturday, for 4yrs.........I listened to him and Colin Cowherd every morning and evening back and fro to work.........Rush was the one who turned me onto Ruth's Chris Steak House and media awareness.....!
He certainly knew how to push the "hot buttons" on mainstream political issues.......He'll be missed by both sides of the fence.....!....never one to mince words...RIP

He was even broadcast here in Canada, so he had a long reach. Well, so is Howard Stern, but I learned something from Rush. I didn't always agree with him, but Rush was entertaining, articulate and always worthwhile to hear his views.

I guess I’ll be the contrarian. I would say this belongs in the cave, as Rush was divisive, untruthful about those who disagreed with him, and abusive. He is largely responsible for the hyper-partisanship and tone that exists today. I’ll keep it at that, since this isn’t the cave.

RIP Rush. We grew apart over the years, but his desire for a better country is not debatable.
