There was something wrong obviously, but it seems something happened
in the trasmission. I didn't understand, was too technical. Maybe
today he will explain how it could happen...quite weird sounding.

I missed the first hour, but heard the clips he repeated. I thought that at
first something had happened to his transmission. Later in that same broadcast
though, he became slurred and slow in his speech. I am convinced now that he
was under the influence of something, perhaps alcohol. He has stated that at
one time, he was a heavy drinker. Not only was there the slowness, and
slurring, but a detectable difference in his reasoning. Perhaps Rush has begun
drinking again, I mean something other than the diet peach Snapple iced tea.

It also occurs to me that he has stated in the past that he takes medication.
He stated some month's ago that sometimes his medication makes him tired. Come
clean Rush, are you on drugs?

I didn't hear it. I think that your brain suffered from temporary
slow-down.

I don't remember him ever stating that.

Maybe you've started smoking crack again. That's just as likley a
senario.

I think there was something that was used to "jam" or do
something to his broadcast. My station came thru okay but
some stations did get a really weird sounding transmission.
His technicians have been trying to find out what it was
but apparently could not locate it.

He never said he was a heavy drinker either.

Last hour of thursday 9/02, in the last half hour of his show, he began to slur
and speak very slowly. As for my brain, that is really quite rude, when he
asked a caller if he sounded any different than usual, she affirmed that he did
not sound his usual self.

>I don't remember him ever stating that.

Friday 9/03. listen to the archive once it is available.

Never have, never will. BTW, although I don't agree with everything that Rush
says, I enjoy his show very much, and have been listening for about six months
on a daily basis.
