The intro is The Pretender's "My City was Gone", Rush has a tape of an interview in which the lead singer, Chrissy Hind, states that her parents listen to Rush and are thrilled that he uses her song. Chrissy is a lefty, but doesn't care that he uses the tune. Her publishing company, or whoever controls using her recorded music, assumed she wouldn't want the song used by Rush, and somehow ordered him to stop. Once the Pretender's people learned that Chrissy didn't mind him using the song, they negotiated a price, and he resumed playing it as his intro.
