When Rush played Clarence “Frogman” Henry for the Homeless Update, it gave the singer a whole new career, which made the Frogman very happy during his remaining years.
Some people (Rush, the band) can’t recognize a gift.
If they haven't had a problem with it up til now, I think it was a premptive strike against the left, who might give the band a hard time for 'allowing' Rush Limbaugh to use their song. As we all know, if the license is purchased, there can be fair use made of parts of songs, but the libs want to make a stink to keep the issue front and center.

The war in Vietnam lost Walter Cronkite, and it appears that the war on drugs just lost Pat Robertson.
I hope you are right. They have always seemed to be above the fray.
This is a copy of an email I sent to the only RUSH email contact I could find:

To RUSH band,
Decisions have consequences. You choose to not have Rush Limbaugh play your music and I choose to not spend my money on you. This whole issue is a contrived distraction by the leftists in the country and you follow. That is too bad. I always thought your band kept its nose out of our politics.
Rush Limbaugh is bigger than you. He is admired and loved. Believe me, another artist will benefit from the most listened to three hours on the radio. You lost.
From what I saw, a Leftist blogger named Bob Cesca on the Huff Toast contacted their management and said “did you know your music is being played by Rush Limbaugh.” He wrote about it.
