RUSH: I almost forgot to mention this. I was given a screening yesterday afternoon of the new movie American Assassin, which is based on the novel written by Vince Flynn who became a very, very close and dear friend<\/a>. He and his wife, Lysa, are from Minneapolis. I didn\u2019t know who Vince Flynn was \u2019til I read his first Mitch Rapp novel, and I remember raving about it here. Vince was a great guy. He spent a lot of time (I didn\u2019t even know it) trying to find a way to get to me to thank me, and I wasn\u2019t aware of that.<\/p>\n

\"\"I was out in Los Angeles one day. I had to come out to do the radio show and my buddies over at 24 arranged a set visit. I went by there for two hours. They had this great presentation. I watched a little bit of the filming of 24 with Kiefer Sutherland — the original Kiefer Sutherland edition — and they had hired Vince as a consultant. He was there, and that\u2019s where I first met him, and he looks just like what you would think a Special Ops stud would look like. And he died in his forties of prostate cancer and complications. And it was so sad.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no pain with prostate cancer per se, and so there wasn\u2019t any. He was in his forties. I mean, PSA tests, they tell you don\u2019t worry about that \u2019til you\u2019re 50 or 60. And he started to experience some pain, and he went and checked it out. They tried some revolutionary treatments, and he lived for a while, but he was just gone way too soon. He\u2019s written a lot of books, and they\u2019d tried to get one made in a movie for seven years, and this is it. They were gonna screen it for me Thursday last week in Palm Beach, and we had to scramble and get out of there.<\/p>\n

So they made it available to us yesterday afternoon at a theater here called the iPic on Wilshire Boulevard. Now, I haven\u2019t been in a theater in 17 years only because I need closed-captioning to be able to understand what\u2019s being said. By the time you add all the other noise and soundtrack, people chomping popcorn or whatever, it\u2019s impossible for me to get all the dialogue. So they had this little doodad that plugs in at the seat that was a little four-inch LED screen that had the closed-captioning. So I\u2019m watching this and the movie out of corner of my eye, but I had never been in a theater like that.<\/p>\n
