It’s official. The final piece of Rush Limbaugh on syndicated radio will be retired soon. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton told their audience Thursday that the rights to Rush’s iconic bumper music “My City was Gone” are set to expire.
Limbaugh popularized the song performed by The Pretenders using it as a bumper song which then became synonymous with his overall brand.
“For decades, Rush’s theme song has reminded everyone about their truth and clarity are on the way,” Travis said. “It’s an iconic song forever that’s going to be attached to Rush Limbaugh and everything that he represented.”
With the one-year anniversary of the “Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” approaching, the duo spent time reflecting on the show’s inception and the indelible mark that Limbaugh left on millions of Americans.
“And for us, this is really like retiring the jersey in sports,” said Sexton. “Because Rush’s theme song is forever attached to his memory, everything he built, and we deeply honor that, his legacy. And that song is a part of his legacy, of course.”
Clay & Buck’s new theme song is “My Own Worst Enemy.”
“These guys moved to Tennessee from California because they were so frustrated with the direction that California politics had gone (laughing), and they are going to be longtime listeners of this show,” Travis said.
“They loved Rush. And when we had this conversation with them, Buck, I mean you should have seen their faces and how excited they were to be able to bring their music to this audience and connect their brand and their spirit with the spirit and brand of the greatest radio show audience that has ever existed in American history,” he added.

Rush’s shows are still available on Rush 24x7. Much of what he said is applicable today.

Ms Hynes allowed Rush to use the song because her late Dad loved his show .
She is a class act .
Still miss Rush.
Not interested in buck travis or whoever the heck tried to take over his slot, and used his music to boot. Shameful hacks.
Damn I miss you Rush!
I never realized this was the intro to a Pretenders song.
Wow.
I didn’t know that.
You’re right. Classy move.
I thought Crissy Hines was terrific and a very strong person for letting Rush use her great song.

I believe she also made Rush give PeTA $500K/year for the song.

Fair Enough
“Not interested in buck travis or whoever the heck tried to take over his slot, and used his music to boot”
I was surprised that Clay and Buck used Rush’s music. Seems like exploitation. Clay and Buck are smooth and intelligent and seem like nice people but they give out basically nothing but repetitions of news I’ve already heard. Occasionally some good analysis.
If Chrissy Hynes was an up and coming singer today, she would be aggressively pursued by the Trans-Zilla movement, based on her tomboyish, androgynous stage presence. Sometimes a look is just a look. It doesn’t tell you the whole story.
South Howard had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
Well, I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio
I’m glad they are retiring it. Painful reminder he’s gone. Miss him so much.
In the fwiw department, I wanted Cat Scratch Fever.
