Ms Hynes allowed Rush to use the song because her late Dad loved his show .
She is a class act .
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.
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.
I remember that Chrissie sued Rush to make him quit using the song. There was a settlement which allowed Rush to use the song after a substantial payout to Chrissie. She later said after the payout that she let him use it because of her dad. She didn’t want to look like a sell out.
That’s was what I remember.
That.. and I am sure he paid her MILLIONS.
Chrissie’s alright with me. The original Pretenders lineup was fantastic, but unfortunately heroin destroyed it.

I remember that well. I bet if they were to ask Chrissie if they could still use it she’d say yes but then again she may have been a secret admirer of Rush.......one can never tell. I miss Rush so much!
I heard she earned $10k/month on the rights
