I'd heard many years ago that Rush began his career as a DJ named jeff Christie. He bounced all over the place playing rock'n'roll etc., with little success. The way I heard it he tried several different schticks before he stumbled on the right wing victimhood. Apparently this caught fire immediately and he exploited it. I think his first whine was in KC but was bankrolled into the bigger and better life.
I heard this on the Don & Mike show. They sometimes get off on other radio hosts. When Rush lost his hearing Don and Mike suggested it was due to Rush's drug use. This was LONG before any stories of Rush & drugs were out. Shortly there after Rush had a miracle 'cure'.
D&M's take on Rush is that is is just an act. If he could make money being a communist, he'd be a communist. Just an act.
