Godfather of conservative talk radio Rush Limbaugh died on February 17th, 2021


Rush Hudson Limbaugh was born on January 12, 1951 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and died in Palm Beach, Florida on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at age of 70.   He had a radio career that started in McKeesport, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh in 1971.  He had a 50 year old radio career which he had to restart many times in many places like in his home state of Missouri and was relaunched in 1984 as a talk radio host in Sacramento and then a big radio producer and the owner of WABC radio had offered him at contract then he went national.  I first started listened listening to him off and on started on KPQ while on vacation from Wenatchee in August 1995 and started listening to him at Newstalk KGA 1510 in Spokane and listen to off and on on various radio stations through out the nation mostly through the Pacific Northwest my computer and my phone off an on.  He helped allow many local talk radio host and mentored other national talk radio host.  Rest in Peace because you have helped bring common sense to the nation.  You also kept the small town values like where the philosophy of this blog comes from which is from my roots in the Snoqualmie Valley and Upper Kittitas Valley.
