There is a saying “things happen for a reason”. Yesterday we were pissed because they refuse Ted Cruz to get on stage. Now I’m glad Huckster thug blocked Senator Cruz and let Huckster stand up proudly on stage. ROFL
debbie gibson is apparently a tremendously talented artist.

Just to clarify Rush does not support PETA ,and it is Hynde’s money to do what she wants.
That’s too much like guilt by association, essentially what most of the bikers in Waco were jailed for, and a Constitutional violation.
I see no evidence of there ever being a PETA lawsuit against the EPA.
Huckabee and his people were pretty stupid to use that dumb song anyway. Kim Davis should sue Huckabee for trying to make the whole thing about him and his campaign.
What was the lawsuit against the EPA?
Conservative events should ban the use of music from filthy hippies and leftists such as that raunchy and atonal "song". Far better would be to use pro-American Patriotic marches and/or pro-God Southern Gospel music.
If I had a song, I would accept royalties, but I wouldn't police who used it. Well, maybe if Nazis were using it.
It’s funny, all this stems from the guy from Survivor having a problem with the use of his song.
Talk about needing exposure.
What did Survivor ever do besides the Rocky themes?
I thought the music was “plastic, and Manufactured” anyway. Totally created for Hollywood.
Can anyone say Vangellis “Chariots of Fire”? Yuk, what crap.
The big gov’t types are such bad winners.
I’m sure the irony of this will be lost on liberals

Survivor. The lead singer is the “Real men of genius” Budweiser commercial singer. When they approached him, they said they needed a cheesy 80s rocker. True story...
Oh, I’m sure they’ve made millions from that song. I used to like the song when I was in school but got tired of it after several years.
The point is that the band didn’t need to be such arrogant jackasses over the use of the song. They need to take their butthurt out on Huckabee, not Kim Davis.
Why are you so sensitive about someone not liking the song? Are you friends with the band members or something?
I thought this was a Huckabee staged event? If so then I think Huckabee should be sued if anyone.
As old as that song is, I would have thought it was Public Domain by now. Who’s suing, their great, great grandchildren?
who needs canned music at any political ( or otherwise ) event anyway? I thought the music was lame and out of place . Folks have to stop trying to jack around other folks emotions with cheap tricks and ‘songs’
I was mistaken. It doesn't appear there was a formal lawsuit, just a publicity campaign. In Hynde's own words,
Really Randoms: Chrissie Hynde, Ricky Martin, Jimmy Page Rolling Stone (Aug 28, 1999)
For whatever it's worth.
That’s weird, because I’ve also read several times that she allowed him to use it because her parents listened, and just on general principal.
That’s cool.
In this instance I would agree with PETA’s position as well.
Testing medication on animals, I got no problem with.
Testing hairspray, by spraying it in some animal’s eyes serves no purpose except cruelty.
I have a solution for both.
Let’s test chemicals on Government Bureaucrats.
They’re much more useless than most animals. :)
Oh bull
BMI WILL JUST ASK TO BE PAID FOR PUBLIC PERFORMANCE USE
