View Comments Musician Bobby Rush soon will be able to add the title "Dr. Rush" to a list of informal accolades that includes "King of the Chitlin' Circuit" and "International Dean of the Blues." The ever-upbeat Mid-South blues legend who has contributed such observations as "I'm not henpecked, I've just been pecked by the right hen," "What's good for the goose is good for the gander, too" and "She must have a booga bear up under there" to the cultural discourse will be this year's recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Humanities from Rhodes College, the school announced Thursday. "I'm on cloud nine, man," said Rush, 87, in a phone interview from his home in Jackson, Mississippi. "This means everything to me."
