Actually, it was originally daddy's radio station. In this respect, I
tend to cut Rush critics slack, as the guy really hasn't had an honest
job in his life and until his oxy codone episode, really had not
experienced adversity in life. In this he is as much a product of
society as those he despises for whining they are products of society. 

I have a lot more respect for a person who busted their butts to come
up out of nowhere and nothing but retained an integrity of their
principles about hard work.
