I didn’t see anyone mention these but to icons in their fields passed away this week
Carman was once described to me as the Tom Jones of Christian music. While I like Tom Jones I wasn’t a big Carman fan even though I appreciated his talent. First time I saw him was one of his very first concerts. Like ever. I believe we took him out to eat after he performed at our church. People I’ve know who interacted with him had only good things to say about him (some surprisingly so). He was very genuine and caring. It amazed me that he could put out music that could appeal to the Blue Hairs, Parents and Youth of a church. I’d also love to see an Artist Tree, similar to a Coaching Tree, of all the artists he mentored or discovered etc.
Rush Limbaugh also lost his battle with lung cancer. I was an avid listeners back in the old Rush Room days having discovered his program when I was overseas. He almost alone saved AM radio at a time before we had a lot of options. He was a bold fresh voice of Conservatism that made you proud to be both an American and Conservative. He was absolutely entertaining and brought Political Talk. Radio into the mainstream. I stopped listening to him when I could no longer get a good signal on a station that carried him and switched to another host. He was controversial for sure. But despite all the bombast, he was a pretty caring person and had a diverse group of friends (see Elton John) I just happen to have the station on Thursday when the familiar music started and thought I’d listen to hear who was filing in. As soon as I heard his wife...I knew. He will be sorely missed by those who both loved and loathed him
