Rush Limbaugh had a regular radio segment where he would read off the names of gay people who died of AIDS and celebrate it and play horns and bells and stuff.
Review:
From the book Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One By Ze'ev Chafets: "...chastised 'militant homosexuals' ...and shortly thereafter began broadcasting irreverent and tasteless 'AIDS update' segments introduced by Dionne Warwick's 'I'll Never Love This Way Again.'"
Review:
These segments are fictitious and have never happened.
Review:
Rush Limbaugh did run a segment during 1991 for a month called "AIDS Update" set to music. This is referenced in several articles about his rising popularity in the 1990s. Missouri Biographical Dictionary by Jan Onofrio, 2001.
