Title: Rush Limbaugh has passed, Michael Harrison on his impact on radio
Post by: Ct Yankee on February 17, 2021, 1710 UTC
At beginning of program today, Rush's wife announced he had passed today and delivered a very heartfelt eulogy. 

A very balanced, respectful review of his impact on radio with many quotes from Michael Harrison:

I'll preemptively mention that the HFU is not a forum for politics, so please keep replies on topic to his radio career. Thanks.

Love him or hate him you would have to admit that he did more to revitalize AM radio than anyone or anything else.

Now Rush Limbaugh and Larry King can co-host a radio show from Heaven.
Man, I'd love to see THAT antenna farm !

The most poignant thing in the article was the mentioning that radio is declining in cultural significance, with less radio stars.

It makes me want to embrace whatever radio we still have left. Overall, the industry seems to be going more and more automaton. The pandemic seems to have accelerated that trend.
