T

he Rush Limbaugh Show is the highest rated national radio talk show in
America. Known as the media pundit who reshaped the political landscape with
his entertaining and informative brand of conservatism, Mr. Limbaugh is also
widely credited with resuscitating AM radio by many industry experts. He has
been recognized for his achievements with Marconi Awards for "Syndicated Radio
Personality of the Year" in 1992, 1995, 2000 and 2005 from the National
Association of Broadcasters. In 1993, he was inducted into the Radio Hall of
Fame and in 1998, into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

Love him, like him or hate him, he really did define an industry. I thought he was much better in the early 90's. He just isn't as funny now as he was then.

Yup. Looks like there actually are quite a few of US. If the conservative movement was dying, Rush sure wouldn't be getting $400 million.

Wonder what the Air America crew makes... minimum plus tips?

I'VE got a tip for them-

They would make a lot more if the media wasn't dominated by conservatives preventing them from getting equal air time. Damn those radio execs for caring more about ratings than liberal propaganda.

Nah, they still wouldn't make any more. No ratings=no revenue=no paycheck.

Doesn't matter how you slice it, Air (Error) America is still a bust.

That makes 3 of us. I'm glad www.rush.com goes to the band's website. Anyone seeing them this go around of the Snakes and Arrows tour?

The New York Times has a long and surprisingly sympathetic interview with Rush Limbaugh in their online paper today.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/magaz ... -t.html?hp

This article will appear in this Sunday's Times Magazine.

Nigel Parry for The New York Times

At one time, Limbaugh did his program from a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper he dubbed, with tongue-in-cheek grandiosity, the Excellence in Broadcasting Building. These days, he mostly broadcasts out of a studio in Palm Beach, Fla., which he calls the Southern Command, and describes on the air as a “heavily fortified bunker.”

In fact, Limbaugh’s show emanates from a nondescript office building on a boulevard lined with tall palms. There isn’t even a security guard in the lobby. The elevator opens directly onto a pristine anteroom furnished in corporate glass and leather. An American flag stands in the corner. Only a small, framed picture of Limbaugh, bearing the caption “America’s Anchorman,” reveals that this is the headquarters of one of the country’s most admired and reviled figures.

Saw them in ST. Louis saturday night, they kicked ASS! Here is the review!

Never mind that Rush writes songs about futuristic dystopias and arboreal uprisings. The Canadian trio knows it's pretentious but undercuts that with a little self-directed humor.

On Saturday, Rush's nearly three-hour concert at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was dotted with comical bits on the video board, starring the band as well as SCTV's "Great White North" hosts Bob and Doug McKenzie, the "South Park" gang, and even actor Jerry Stiller — in drag, no less.

Even wackier, bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee's banks of amplifiers were replaced with large cases full of rotisserie chicken. No mention was made of the visual gag, but occasionally a roadie would break out a basting brush and go to work.

Meanwhile, the band — Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart — worked hard as well. Rush offered a mix of old favorites and deep album cuts, plus the lion's share of its most recent album of new material, "Snakes & Arrows."

If the show sounded familiar, however, that's because it was. Only four songs differed from the set Rush played at the same venue last summer. And that show was almost identical to the "Snakes & Arrows Live" CD issued by the band earlier this year. Fans could have spun the disc at home and heard essentially the same show without booking a baby sitter.

But there didn't seem to be much grumbling. Most audience members stood throughout the show, pumping their fists, playing air guitar and marveling at the band's musical prowess.

Attention often gets lavished on Lee's still astonishing vocal range and Peart's dexterous drumming, which sometimes shortchanges Lifeson's six-string skills. But on Saturday, he showed he can still shred with the best of them, stretching out on the instrumental "The Main Monkey Business," accenting the metallic reggae of "Digital Man" and playing with grace and economy on one of the set's new additions, "Ghost of a Chance."

For their part, Lee hit some stratospheric notes on "Freewill" and Peart contributed a jaw-dropping drum solo that, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, wasn't a signal for a beer or bathroom break.

Other highlights included the hits "Tom Sawyer" and "The Spirit of Radio" as well as the rest of the songs that weren't part of last year's show: "Red Barchetta," "The Trees" and "Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" from "2112."

Those songs were enough to make one wonder how much more satisfying an already fine show could have been with maybe a few less yuks and a little more consideration for the band's hard-core constituency.
