You may know him as Bo Snerdley. James Golden was Rush Limbaugh's long-time producer and friend and he's written a new book, "Rush on the Radio" about those years of partnership. We'll talk with James about his thoughts and memories of their years together that transformed talk radio.

As I've said on the show, it's not as simply as "Democrats" wrecking cities, although they tend to do so.
