I’m sure Rush had loved ones on a personal and I wish them condolences.
But I’m glad his microphone has been silenced.

lol nope
When asked specifically about what listeners will hear on air:
Rush's voice will continue to be heard, providing comfort and continued insight to his legions of loyal fans.
Today at approximately noon ET, Rush’s wife Kathryn read a statement announcing his passing to his millions of loyal listeners.
All of Rush's audio has been extensively archived and cataloged by subject, topic and opinion. His producers will be able to pull segments that are relevant for each day's news cycle and allow us to feature the best of Rush for the full three hours of the program.
The familiar voices of the programs’ guest hosts will be used in the show when needed to guide Rush’s audio from one topic to another, but Rush will be the predominant voice heard for the three-hour Monday-Friday show, the AM Daily Update and The Week in Review three-hour show.
Please note that we will continue with this transitional programming until his audience is prepared to say good-bye.

I thought they were building up to the announcement that his voice had been digitized and he would continue to "read" scripts written by staffers. That would be much cooler

Is this ironic, poetic, or bittersweet?

Let me play the world's smallest violin, and ICP's "Dead Body Man" I guess.

Gospel artist Carman.
If you spent any time in a church youth group from the late 80s to probably fairly recently you’ve at least heard of him.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That's almost as old as Rush himself.

Irv Cross; first black sports analyst on a national broadcast. I remember him the old NFL Today I watched as a kid. That show helped develop my interest in sports and I hate that it evolved into what it, and most other pregame shows, have become.
