review 1: I have listened to Rush’s radio show on and off since about 1989. Over the years, I have found I can’t really tell a lot a people I’m a fan for fear of getting laughed at, insulted, or a look of disapproval. And forget trying to talk people in to listening. You can’t really get talked in to listening to Rush. It just happens. AND you either love him or hate him or some just tolerate him. I find him funny, passionate and true. At times I think he has gone over the edge and I cringe anticipating inevitable liberal bashing. But somehow, someway, Rush always survives and most of the time comes out of a situation smelling like a rose. This book is a biography. I’m not sure you could label it authorized, however, Rush developed a good relationship with the aut... morehor and allowed him into his somewhat classified existence. Reading this book, I wondered if Zev was a fan and was leaning toward the positive aspect of Rush and his life. Or, after spending all this time with Rush and his friends and family, did they change Zev’s mind from skeptic to believer. Almost everything Zev wrote about I experience thru the actual radio performance, OR I heard it through the media or Rush himself. I was impressed with myself and how much I knew about Rush and the politics he has proclaimed via radio waves throughout these many years. I did learn some things about his early life, his father, his brother and what steered “Rusty” towards a life in radio. Believe it or not, Rush is a sensitive guy. Some of the bashing he endures from the left he can take and turn it around and give it right back with such flare, they regret what they started. But some of it, especially the personal issues like his weight and the way he lives, he takes very personal. Zev stated in this book that everything Rush said, he was able to back up. I actually think he was surprised at that and I’m sure liberals don’t believe it. Much to the chagrin of all liberals and even some Republicans, Rush does have significant political influence in this country. I am glad he does. I really believe this country needs him to remind us where we started. What this country is all about AND the path we need to take to get it back on track. If you are a Rush fan, you will really enjoy this book. If you aren’t a Rush fan, give it a try anyway, you might be surprised.
review 2: In 1992, I moved home to be with Mom to help her with Dad's cancer. Approximately a month after moving home, Dad died and I decided to stay in Swan Lake. A few months after settling into Swan Lake, my brother Brad told me about a talk show on the radio by a guy named Rush Limbaugh. He told me I should listen because I would like him. So I did. I remember thinking the first few times that I listened to Rush that this was not normal. He was attacking the normal way of thinking (at least what I perceived to be normal). However, the more I listened to him, the more he made sense, and I realized that Rush Limbaugh was indeed the "truth detector." I began to doubt the main stream media and began to realize the agenda behind the media to promote liberalism and that is what the rest of America believed. Since my first time that I listened to Rush, I have been a fan. I had heard Rush Limbaugh tell his radio audience about a book written about him by Zev Chafets. He said it was a worthy biography of him. I was released in 2010. I finally got around to reading it. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author gives us a wonderful glimpse into Rush's childhood (Rush was known as Rusty as a child), his early radio career, and his emergence as a national figure. He explores some of his missteps and his highlights. less
