I think I may have heard Rush's first show in the NY Market ... I was struck by his bloated air of self-confidence. Early on, I emailed Rush to correct him on some item (I recall once I was actually wrong). Rush's replies were always modest, warm and personal. Once I described his formula for persona on-air with the word "bluster." Rush did not disagree in his response. It was interesting to me that some of us saw the warmth through the "bluster," but others never got past it. My wife didn't like Rush early on and still doesn't much although she has joined me in my shift to the right. I'm certain Rush played a big part in my shift. (So did Bob Grant ... someone I discovered about the same time).

I've been a business and broadcast technology teacher for the past five years. In my past lives I have been in college adminstration, management training, training management, financial sales, technology sales, sales engineering, management consulting and technology consulting.

Hi Mr-B

A megaditto welcome to the site!!  Looking forward to your joining our discussion.  

Rush definitely has an interesting on-air persona.  I think you have to listen to his show for a while to recognize his unique sense of humor that he mixes in with his insightful monologues.

It one of the things that makes Rush unique.

Welcome aboard Mr-B!!  Great to have you here.
