This is part I have problems with:
Hynde eventually decided to allow Limbaugh to use it, with Limbaugh donating approximately $500,000/year to the animal rights organization PETA
We're not talking royalties here. We're talking about Limbaugh donating $500,000 per year to the terrorist organization PETA to use a stupid song.
I'm amazed people aren't bothered by this.
We don't know if that PETA tidbit is factual.
Maybe people aren't bothered by this because Wikipedia is full of BS. Anyone can add anything to a wikipedia page.
If you can find another legitimate source that confirms the PETA donation claim than I'm sure people would be very upset.
The royalties part is (has to be) accurate - it happens anytime music is played on radio, at clubs, etc.
The PETA thing is in my view completely false.
