First heard Rush when he hit AM560 Frostburg
Md, around 1989.

19 years old, dumb as a box of rocks, I wanted to listen but
just couldn't.

Two years later, I was with an on the road trainer starting out
driving truck. Bob, (old man around 50, do the math on me, now grin)
listened to Rush for 3 hours everyday. For two weeks.

By the time I was on my own, I kinda understood and was learning
about the players. Rush kept me awake through many afternoons,
And almost finished raising me. No joke. My parents weren't political,
Dad never even registered.

Not only was he something to keep me awake, he helped me form
my opinions. That, was key to my daughter's being conservative.
My 13 year old has two Trump flags in her room, and helped put
the signs in the yard.

Queer? F U!

More like the uncle who took me under his wing and taught me
things key to a successful life, and improving our country.

Today, I'm the guy at work who gets ask all the government/political
questions. Our conversations about recent events have registered several
Republicans. Several Dems have changed, and one not liberal, but die hard
Dam voted R in '16 and has come to hate the Democrat party.

Yep, never met the man.
But he has influenced me, and those around me, more than most of
my family.
