I thought that you could play a song all you want as long as you paid the pre-determined royalty fee to the individual/entity that owns the rights to the song.How is it that Rush can use “My City Was Gone” if that’s not true? Are the Pretenders Republicans?
He pays. Instead of paying royalties to the author, Crissie Hynde, Limbaugh donates the equivilent amount to PETA.
No to my knowledge
Chrissy (moonbat that she is)doesn't mind going to the bank to cash a check.
A number of years ago, somebody told Rush he couldn’t use the song any more. He started auditioning new theme songs over the course of a few days, and it became something of a news item. Chrissie Hynde heard about it and said she was going to get in there and personally guarantee Rush could continue to use the song. She acknowledged that she was a far left liberal, but that her parents were very conservative and loved Rush, and that she had no problem with him using the song. Now, perhaps she just wanted to guarantee the flow of royalties, but I liked her better after she made the statement and the gesture.
