Lots of people get addicted to their perscription drugs, its not his fault, and then after a while he realised he had a problem and got help. I respect him more because he was able to admit it and got help.

And didn't all this happen over a year ago? Why did they go after him now.
Hmmmm....

Is this not the second time he has been caught abusing Oxycontin?

Abusing the drug so much that it affected his hearing?

This is a case from 3 years ago. He admitted he had become addicted to Oxycontin back then, and as far as anyone knows, that was the end of it.

No big deal, imo.

Just imagine if your average, famous rock star or actor had gone through the same thing. You think it would have been blown into such a big deal?

That DA in Palm Beach county has been after all this time, mentioning it in campaign speeches to raise money-- thus far, Rush is the ONLY person in FLA ever to be charged with 'doctor shopping'

Yup, like Trent Lott in Texas, ya have a DA with an agenda who file charges and hope, somehow, they stick. They hope that by having a police booking photo out there, it will ruin em.

The hearing part is conjecture, I dont recall Rush saying that was the cause of his hearing loss. I've had 2 friends who were went deaf in early child hood and thats to those implants, regained their hearing. And no, they werent popping opiates
