This morning on my way to get some medicine, I was listening to a Best of Rush on the radio.
He and a caller named Jill weren’t communicating very well at all.
Finally she said, “At least I’m not a drug addict.”
“Cheap shot,” I thought.
Not too much later, as they were talking all over each other, he finally exclaimed, “You are sounding like my two ex-wives. Shut up!” (The first sentence may not be an exact direct quote, but it’s very close.)
That was cheap and ungracious.
That attack on his ex-wives, one of them “the lovely and gracious Marta,” was totally uncalled-for and gratuitous.
They could offer nothing in their defense. I wonder what would be their side of the story of their marriage(s) to Rush.
I would say he revealed less than The Best of Rush.
And instead of being on The Cutting Edge of Societal Evolution, I would say he was conforming to the trailing edge.
I sure don’t listen to Rush because of his personal moral example. He has had at least 3 failed marriages. I do listen to him for his great analysis and commentary on the news of today. It is much needed. He IS on the “Cutting Edge of Societal Evolution” in the world of politics!
Unless that is the best of Rush…
