Some musicians only clear their music by special arrangement?
She is a bit of a kook although I always appreciated her somewhat libertarian streak, but dear Lord that woman could sing!
I have always loved her voice.
Doubt he called Fluke a slut or prostitute, too easy.
The press still whitewashes crap
Sandra Fluke wanted governmwnt to PAY for her and all womems’ contraceptives. Not merely wanting more “access” to them.
She is a slut. And she wanted government to pay for her sexual appetite. But at the same time, not judge her, and stay out of her bedroom. And give her free govt funded abortions. But its her choice.
Nutty slut.
Rush used the music of “My City was Gone” - but never played even a second of Chrissy’s vocal. Shouldn’t the Pretenders (her band) be getting credit for the music played on Rush’s show?
What a load of bunk.
She’s awesome and that’s a nice letter that she wrote to Trump.
I think a performer can add a clause to their ASCAP contract saying they have to be consulted before X type of use.
he episode led to a rare apology from the normally resolute broadcaster, who’ll be remembered for denying climate change, supporting the claim that Trump won the 2020 election, describing predominantly Black sport teams as “gangs” and dismissing feminism as a way “to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

All true
Yes— they have the right to stipulate how their writings/songs may be used in public performance. It is called licensing (mechanical and otherwise). An example of someone who does not allow anybody (especially not car commercials like Bob Dylan has and then some) is... Tom Waits.
BTW- to FReepers here, recall that Peter Gabriel’s rant on the Sandra Fluke commentary-— welllll, ole Peter Gabriel is one whacked dude as well— a huge supporter of
the so called “Founder of Earth Day” — Ira Einhorn who murdered his girlfriend and left her body in a trunk in his apt. to “compost”.
.... “A 2011 article posted on NBC News’ website is titled: “Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend.” The opening of the story reads: “Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. [Several] years later, police raided his closet and found the ‘composted’ body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.”
.....Einhorn was able to procure the services of famed local attorneyARLEN SPECTER as his defense counsel. Specter, who went on to serve decades in the U.S. Senate as a RINO Republican from Pennsylvania and later converted to the Democratic Party that he better aligned with, managed to get Einhorn’s bail set at only $40,000. Again utilizing his network of connected progressive supporters, Einhorn had Barbara Bronfman, a wealthy Seagram heiress, post bail for him, and then he promptly fled to Europe. He jumped bail.
Peter Gabriel gave large amounts of concert proceeds to Einhorn’s anti-extradition efforts while Einhorn hid in Europe.
One very large example of the so called “Green” enviro-whackos who really are murderous RED Communists.
Einhorn died in prison for life, finally in April 2020.
PETA- People Eating Tasty Animals!
Many protested when The Donald played their songs at rallies.
“Why Learn from History if you can just Re-Write it?”—
Well written article on Ira Einhorn and Peter Gabriel.
Never forget the ultra RINO Arlen Specter Sen. PA- who switched parties finally. Also never forget, Arlen Specter—
Was assistant counsel for the Warren Commission (JFK assassination investig.), then Repub Sen. from PA- good guy on 2nd Amendment-— but
Pro- “Card Check” unionizing of everything.
obamaumaocare that was coming- he was all for it- switched sides.
As Chair of the Senate Intel Committee wanted Jonathan Pollard pardoned.
Finally- switched parties and lost his dem primary to Sestak who LOST to the SUPER RINO—
Pat Toomey (same noodle middle of the road pussy- voted FOR the conviction of Trump for the ridiculous “incitement” charges.) Why did he do this?— Why— because he’s not running for re-election in 2022. Pat Toomey the inheritor of Arlen Spector the very FAKE Republican “conservative”- carrying on the MORON tradition of un-Constitutional crapola from Philadelphia. (Never forgot Specter talking about Scottish Law— in the well of the Senate- a real jacka@@ loser).
“She believed in a live-and-let-live approach to politics, even though it sometimes led to family arguments.”
Isn’t ‘live & let live’ what does NOT lead to family arguments?!
I assume Chrissie Hynde lives in a house. I would reckon it's a large house, given her financial success in the music business.
The land her house was built on was likely earlier occupied by grasshoppers, crickets, frogs and squirrels (to name a few).
Take a look at her driveway. Paved "right down the middle."
I guess she had "no pride" either.
It all depends on the category. There are a whole host of categories from public play, soundtracks, radio play, Muzak, etc. for example it can be used in certain movies, but not pornos.
But, for the most part—if you want to pay the fee, they can’t bitch.
What bull ....as both a Pretenders fan, with that song a favorite of mine before Rush...and as a long time Rush listen... I can tell you as fact..
Rush has told the whole story on that song..and has played the whole song when telling the story
You can also hear that tune in “American Splendor” movie which was about Cleveland native Harvey Pekar. Tune was used probably because it originated in the Cleveland area. BTW, Pekar lived close to where we did when I was a little kid in Cleveland.
That's not accurate. He should have never said that, and I knew as soon as I heard it live that it was going to be a bad next several days for him...that was one of the few times he was condemned for something he actually said rather than it being something fabricated. However, he was commenting on an article where the headline itself said that she had testified that people on campus were having so much sex that they were struggling to stay afloat financially and they should be provided free birth control by a university...and that she could see the pain on people's faces and knew it was from them not being able to afford birth control and it wasn't being provided to them for free - not merely "for saying women should have easier access to contraceptives".
I’ve always liked Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. Yes I know she’s a bit of a left-wing whack job, but in some interviews I’ve seen of her she’s not that far gone. I’m glad she let Rush use the song as his intro. And I really like the song.
75 +++ Million more of us believe trump won the 2020 election.
