BRETT: As so many of you know, Rush loved to have fun and laugh. He had one of the best senses of humor I’ve ever been around. He always said, “All good comedy has an element of truth to it,” and for today’s EIB High Note, we thought we’d bring you some of his unique ways of describing people like only he could.
RUSH: One of the techniques that I have employed over the years is to paint pictures. Radio has no TV, obviously. No screens. So the host paints the picture; the audience envisions the picture in their own mind. That’s why radio, by the way, can be the most intimate of all media. Done right, radio can have much more intimacy and much more impact than television, because it’ll all be active participation rather than passive. A little montage here of 2-1/2 minutes of how I employ this technique.
