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.

They arrived at a price, and Hynes donated the money to PETA. Rush got a laugh out of that!
I heard she earned $10k/month on the rights
“That was the syndicator Premiere Networks’ decision to carry on the format. Don’t blame the new guys”
Thanks for that!
Made My Day! Thanks!
Mutt and Jeff using it to start with only made it seem like they were hoping to glom fame and credibility from Maha Rushie.
“Saw Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders in concert shortly after she was ‘disinvited’ to be part of the Lillith Fair women’s empowerment tour.
She was awesome, and laid into how full of crap all those stuck up no talent biotches are. I liked the music before that, but in that moment, I fell in love with her. We don’t agree on politics, but she’s smart, independent, and not afraid to speak her mind.”
Some years ago saw a TV/Online concert with her and some other female singers (can you still say female), she was great and by far the hardest worker to please the audience.
Not to get off topic but reminded me of Kenny Rodgers. Heard an an interview with him some years ago about why he did not do a lot of new songs at his concerts. He said they have paid money to hear my hit songs not new stuff that may or not be good.
the Pretenders “My City is Gone”
just have on my iphone itunes
Always wondered exactly how Chrissie Hynde felt about the Maha Rushi and the EIB using that Pretenders riff.
That’s my default ringtone on my phone.
I met her, a gin soaked bar queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulders
Because I still can’t seem to drink my wine
Honkey ...

I was familiar with that song *before* Rush ever used it.
That song will forever moisten my eyes.
Miss the Great El Rusho!
He also said “You’re where you are because that’s where you want to be.”
Thank you and bookmarking ❣
Important reminder from Rush, thank you.
Have not heard that in a while. Classic Rush.
