Whether you love him or hate him...

This is an interesting biography of Limbaugh, and the story of how he rose to the "biggest" talk show host in America, making history and breaking all kinds of records. Love him or hate him, this is an interesting story. And it's undeniable that Limbaugh has made a huge impact on radio, journalism, and his talk format is now being mimicked by Fox News, CNN, and even the liberals on MSNBC. If you listen to Limbaugh, you probably already know a few of these stories - things Limbaugh talks about openly, like his birth place of Cape Girardo, his early broadcast jobs in Kansas City and Sacramento. But this goes into much more detail, including some jobs where he *bombed* and/or got fired!! An interesting read.

Everything Rush

If you like Limbaugh or hate him, this is a "must have" book. Get the straight story on Rush's draft deferement, the debt he owes to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Disk Jockey Larry Lujack. Colford is a serious journalist and does a fine job of shucking this particular ear of American corn.
