Listening to the radio as a kid in my mom's car.

Morton Downy Jr was kicked off of the radio in Sacramento CA in the 80s, my father and I would listen to him all the time. After that happened this dude named Rush came on and would talk shit about Rio Linda. I fell in love with rush in the 80s and still have a crush on him to this day.

My parents listened to it while we moved into our first house in America.

My dad told me not to listen to him.

Andrew Breitbart’s book. I was asleep for most of my life thinking Rush was some conservative shock jock. After learning about Andrew Breitbart and reading his book explaining how he found Rush, I gave him a listen to. That was 5 years ago and I’ve been listening to him almost daily ever since.

His TV show would come on after my mom's afternoon "soaps". We would watch it together as it was fun for the whole family. He was a lot more light-hearted back then and told a lot of great jokes about Bill Clinton.

Hard to forget the first time you hear Geddy’s high pitched voice, Neil’s incredible rythm on drums, and Alex’s mesmerizing guitar riffs... oh wait, that Rush.

Probably his based Twitter posts.

Through TD

Dad and I would listen in the truck in the 90’s as we fed cattle on the ranch. Why oh why did I become an IT professional when I could have owned 3000 acres.

This is legit making me cry just because I know he isn't going to be with us much longer.

I hope he releases all of his work as an indexed anthology.

Rush baby. Father had him on while he built homes.

Family Guy. So naturally I knew he was legit.

In the early 90's I was given a vhs copy of a copy of the secret first documentary about the dirty Clintons and their child murders, drug deals out of the Mena Arkansas airport, numerous sexual assaults. The documentary seemed credible with eye witnesses, etc. I was aghast when Bill Clinton was going to be the candidate for President. MTV promoted him. The News promoted him. Then one day I was flipping through the radio and heard a bold man declaring his talent was on loan from God and he was here to tell us about Slick Willy Clinton and all their crooked dealings. His words rang true and I was hooked! The Clinton/Bush election was the first time I'd voted and was devastated Billy boy won. I'd have never made it thru those years without RUSH!

I used to commute. AM radio was big back then. El Rushbo was always on.

I was twelve years old and I found a copy of "See, I Told You So" for $1 at a garage sale.

I spent the first half of the 90's in federal prison with bikers and wise guys. I met people like Lyndon LaRouche, Rev. Jim Bakker and Gambinos. About a year in, I met Jesus Christ and He saved my soul. I later met Rush on a little AM/FM Walkman and he changed my thinking, which then changed my behaviors and saved my life.

My dad played him constantly growing up and then as I got older and realized most republicans were lacking the balls that he had, I started to respect him even more.

TOM SAWYER!

My high school physics teacher was a fat cunt and a biology major with a minor in dumb shit. I figured anything she said had to be wrong and then she went on a rant about Rush in class. So I figured I'd check the guy out.

1992 I was 12 years old and watched him on TV before I got on the bus for school in the morning (we got 3 channels using an antenna, 2, 4, 7).

I used to come home after a night of partying (in my teens) and flip through channels to find something to watch. I found his show and thought it was funny. After a while I would turn straight to it and I started to notice that things that he had predicted weeks ago were right.

Was 8 or 9 years old. Dad used to have an old Chevy Tradesman Van that our family used to go camping. I remember hearing a crazy man that was talking about politics out of Rio Vista area CA, which was 20 miles from my house. listened to him off and on for 20 years. When Hussein became president I became a daily listener. Now 30 years later its hard to believe.

Working in a video store. Couldn't find shit on the radio then came across Rush.

Some Lefty retard lady started complaining one day when she was in renting some dumb movie. I didn't turn that shit off.

2007, 2008 election year. In my own car, young and naive but I was doubtful when every MSM was backing Obama. Rush’s words sounded more truthful to me.

17, in Highschool, based ELA teacher had be pick out any book on his shelf. I picked a Rush book, changed my world, had lots of chats about the world with that teacher after school.

I think my brother told me about him... then I started listening on the radio and then discovered his tv show.... around the Dan's Bake Sale era.

I think it was the fact that Slick Willie got elected that really launched him into the stratosphere

I remember seeing his TV show a few times and when I was in my mid 20's I started to hear him on the radio an office manager had on. Back then, I would have said republicans where nuts and conspiracy kooks. But as I got older and started to realize the world we live in, I came to start listing to Rush on my own and have tried my best over the years to listen when I am able to. Once he is gone, no one will be able to fill his shoes. The trust and respect he has earned over the years will never be matched.

1993: my dad watched him on TV and to this day I remember watching that VCR tape on rewind hundreds of times because he said “I wanna play this for you folks, this is my favorite song right now” then played the first 2 minutes of Peter Gabriel’s ‘Steam’ music video and followed by saying “alright folks, we better cut that off before the audience starts thinking they’re watching MTV”. He’s always been there on radio since

The year was around 1993 or 1995 around there, I'm driving back from a meeting in vega$ with high end excutives back to the office with a 900K check from the new york new york. I'm 25 years old or so. I'm driving back to the shop (construction hotels) and I just all of the sudden got tired of all the music on the radio for some reason. I felt like i was done you know? So - changed to AM radio and that was it for me! Talk radio was born for me. Rush? Yeah! ~ but then it became larger, Savage, Coast to Coast / (art bell was still alive (F) ) It just changed my entire life! Linda Moulton Howe I love you and love all the radio groovy cats!

Sorry for long post - God bless rush

p.s, Also George Knapp KLAS

Driving back to college from a break. I instantly thought: "He thinks like me." Little did know, that I thought like him.

I was a long time Dem. Slowly become an independent. I thought Rush was a loser and a hater on Obama. Even tho I didn't like Obama. My father use to listen to Rush on the radio to pass time. I slowly got redpilled and now here we are!

Fyi the only reason I thought he we a loser and a hater is because of Facebook and the media. I not once heard him when I thought like that. This is the same with my friends who hate Trump. They have never heard not one single FULL speech from Trump. Our laziness and ease of relying on other people's words will be our downfall.

I’m an Aussie pede who didn’t take much notice of American politics till 2009.

My introduction to Rush was that episode of family guy, where Brian the ever uneducated parrot liberal, protests and calls Rush out - Rush invites Brian to read his book, and Brian does. After seeing a clear concise and logical narrative on the pages of Rush’s book, Brian decides he too is a conservative.

I took a lot away from that episode, usually family guy likes to take cheap shots at political figures (while leaning heavily left in their bias) but they showed Rush as a reasonable and respectful person.

Brian was the epitome of vapid empty liberal mind, repeating talking points and protest points with zero education on the issues they seem to fight so hard over. It was quite refreshing to see Family Guy taking a swing at these hollow liberal idiots. Even moderate liberals hate the hollow fuckers that do nothing but chant.

Anyway, I did my digging and learned what I could about Rush after that. And while I’m not a diehard fan, I always enjoy his clips or recordings when I stumble across them. A lot of respect for that man.

The year was probably the early 90s. I was probably 10 or 12, and had no clue about politics.

My grandmother kept talking about "Rush Limbo" and I was trying to picture her on roller blades trying to duck under a pole.

My mom was a stay at home, every morning she would be listening. This is going back 30 something years

I was an avid WaPo, NYT, WSJ and LAT reader and began listening just to hear what was so outrageous about him.

Driving with my dad as a kid in the 90s, I never really got much of what he was saying being young, but that commercial outro sound is forever burned in my brain

Grandfather had him on every morning at the family business, I grew up with him

They wouldn't like to hear a drug addict used to listen to him slam the Clintons in the90s on his TV Show. Rush ruled.

Parents listened to him in the car when I was a kid. I later lost my uncle to suicide, probably the most based family member I knew. He was always jolly and had a commanding voice and joked just like Rush. Rush became my surrogate uncle after that.

In the early 90s, I went to NYC and saw a taping of the Rush Limbaugh TV show. I had been listening to the radio show for years and bought his books. During the show, Mr. Limbaugh saw the ear-to-ear smile on my face and made a comment and the camera zoomed on me. After the taping, Mr. Limbaugh signed the books I brought and chatted briefly. Very fun and awesome day!

My father and his father listened to Rush. I met him in the car on the way to and from school.

Grandfather break time every morning

I was a punk rock guy working in a bike shop in the early '90s. Got bored listening to the same old cassettes at work, and a buddy turned me on to the wonder of Rush. Been hooked ever since. People would hear him when they'd come in the store, and either love or hate him. I found a lot of kindred spirits. You can tell a lot about a person by how they feel about Rush Limbaugh.

Back before YouTube and iphones I wanted something to listen to while in the car, AM was far more interesting then FM.

I was driving as part of my job and was a commiefornia raised brainwashed leftist until about 9 years ago. Started listening to any talk radio in the car without static just to have a familiar voice keep me company while I drive- that station happened to be one with Rush every day. Everything he said made so much sense and blew my moronic social justice university trained weak mind. I live a better life now and I am a better person because of him. I truly love Rush and I can’t imagine not having his voice of reason with us around anyone. Praying for him every day.

Rush was a columnist for my Uncle's newspaper in the bay area of CA during the 80s. That is until my Uncle fired him because he received too many complaints. Cancel culture before woke culture. His newspaper eventually failed. I wonder why...get woke, get broke.
