He is an admirer of Rush Limbaugh so in honor of Limbaugh he adopted Rush as a last name.
There's nothing magic about being a 'newsman' that would require using your real name on the air. Many of us use different names, often to assure privacy when we want it.
There are some STRANGE people out there in Radioland..
He got fired from one job, quite a scandal
Rush is a fake name he uses on the radio...
That's the kind of nonsense that radio deejays do...
talk about nonsense...
what about Jimmy Hoppa? what a joke, i get it for the radio, but when you switch to TV news you are supposed to be credible and trustworthy. How can anyone take a guy named Jimmy Hoppa seriously?
Many 'On the Air' commercial radio DJs, announcers, etc. have used 'stage names' across the years.
Sometimes it was because their actual name was hard to pronounce or spell, and sometimes to avoid prejudice. In and of itself, not a big deal. But if the assumed name is to dodge a past scandal could be grounds for discussion.
Seems a quizzical practice in the land of NPR, though.
So I'd concentrate on the content, quality and fairness of his work.
Kind of doubt that Wolfman Jack was on the Wolfman's birth certificate!
Don Rush? Never heard of him.
If you pronounce his real name correctly, it sounds very much like "Rush". "Rush" is easier to spell for people than is "Roeck".
You don't think that DJ Batman is really Batman, do you?
He also calls himself a journalist -- what a scam.
Let's make him rush to get outtahere!
What always got me was that older woman mentioned a lot on this blog "Stevie" something or Other. Not from Salisbury or even the county so don't recall her last name. I always thought she must have been a Stevie Nicks wannabe in her younger years because no one especially a woman that old would go by the name of Stevie. It's kind of dopey.
3:47 has it right! He is not claiming to be an entertainer. He is passing himself off as a journalist? Its called integrity..
He always has that smug liberal jerk mike Preto on his show. I want my tax money back!
You mean Alice Cooper's name isn't Alice?
O. M. G.!
All those years I thought...
The internet sharks smell blood in the cybersea.Before this was posted no one even gave him a second thought.So many perfect people out there passing judgement.
i wish they would drop all the NPR liberal crap and just concentrate on classical music.
