"If you don't stop, we'll go back to performing in women's lingerie!"

The '80s have come back to bite Rush Limbaugh in the ass ... Rush (the band) has followed Peter Gabriel's lead and have demanded Limbaugh stop using their music on his radio show ASAP.
Rush (the band) was FURIOUS when they discovered Rush (radio guy) was playing their song "The Spirit of Radio" as he ranted about wanting to see sex tapes of Sandra Fluke. The band got even more upset when they learned it wasn't the first time Rush (radio) has used their music on his show.
The band has since fired off a cease and desist letter to Rush (radio) ... saying, "The public performance of Rush’s music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement."
The letter continues, "Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of Rush’s music and confirm that you will do so."
As for Peter Gabriel ... his song, "Sledgehammer" was playing on Rush's radio show when he called Fluke a "slut" ... and, shocker, Peter's pissed too.
Gabriel's rep said the singer has demanded that his music also be pulled from Limbaugh's show.
Lefties hate Rush’s (the band’s) music too. Especially the politics of it.
I’m a right winged conservative and have no problem with the politics of their “songs”. I was never able to listen to their annoying fingernails on the chalkboard noise long enough to get any message they might have

Chrissie's parents are hard core Rush fans and they convinced her to shut her mouth.......
IMO the best part of that Pretenders song he uses in his intro.... is the part that Rush uses....
bump for later
The band Rush had one half-ass song “Tom Sawyer” and that’s about it. Screw them.
Screw ‘em, play Johnny Horton and George Jones and Conway Twitty in place.Libs hate country music anyway.

the money did the talking. a suitable arrangement will
will be found.
they have to bow to the leftist rabble or risk becoming pariahs and relegated to indian casino levels of relevance.
“What kind of music do you like?”
For me, ‘Motorhead’ 24/7.
LOL !
How does the mechanical license enter in to the equation? Any one know? I like the idea of Rush only using conservative musicians/performers songs. There are a lot of good ones out there.
Rush Limbaugh can use ANY of my music ANY time he wants. It’s not rock and roll - and no one has ever heard of me, but....it’s an open offer.
Just in case: http://www.kandkband.com ;-)
I bet they don’t demand Don Imus stop using that song.
Why not use Ethel Merman?! She’s loud, appropriately bombastic and too dead to protest!
Too true.
Public domain and copyright. just keep paying the ungrateful putz Rush .
I always thought that Getty Lee sucked. And for this, they can pound sand.
They can’t dictate who he plays, and doesn’t play, on his show as many others have found out through out the years.

It was the record company that said knock it off, Chrissy Hines said that her parents love his show.
