It is the raw truth of how Parkinson's effects him daily. Even Rush himself couldn't see what all the fuss was about over MJF's illness. He thought MJF was just as spry as he is (i.e., he thought he was faking the tremors). Letting the public see Parkinson's in its true form may be the only wakeup call for people to realize that it exists, and not just in grandma, and it shows what they have to deal with on a daily basis before they get doped up. I don't have a problem with him doing that and surely don't feel manipulated, especially since it is a true depiction of the disease.
As far as Rush apologizing, maybe he should try researching before poking fun at someone's illness, but wait a minute, he's just a disk jockey right? Since when do they have to research to *entertain.*
To Lurker: That's why I don't pay attention to the *elite right* anymore.

Well, great. Most are secretive and manipulative.
