I always wonder how conflicted Chrissie Hynde must be knowing that probably by far her most listened to song is because of Rush.

I always wonder how conflicted Chrissie Hynde must be knowing that probably by far her most listened to song is because of Rush.

I do not remember exactly where I heard it, it went something like this:

Chrissie Hynde wasn't happy that Rush was using that song as bumper music into his show, however Hynde's father was a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh. So Hynde & the Pretenders let Rush continue using it.

No recollection as to whether or not royalties were involved (probably were, who knows?)

Anyway, that's the crux of the story and I recall hearing it after Rush passed. Take it for whatever it's worth.

Conflicted? LOL, it was more important for her to cash the checks than take a stand. We saw her true colors but as a Rush listener we usually see through all of their falseness.
