1/ At 20, I idealized Rush Limbaugh.

At 25ish, I learned he was an entertainer first and foremost.

At 30ish, believing he was completely out of touch with blue collar America, I rarely listened to him.
2/ At 44, among other things, I deemed him loose with the truth, I vowed never to listen to him again, and never did.

Today, at almost 53, for the last few years, I've noted how Trumpism morphed Rush into Alex Jones.
3/ For the love of the "golden microphone and an underserving "Metal of Freedom" award from a conman with authoritarian impulses, this man I once admired, followed the evils of Trumpism all the way to spending his last days on Earth helping to incite an insurrection.
x/ Bottom line. I wish no ill on anyone. But from my perception, I mourned the death of Rush Limbaugh a long time ago.
