For some perspective, take a trip down memory lane, and do a youtube search on “Peter Gabriel and Sinead O’Conner”.
Yes that one.
Oh for God’s sake!
I listen to Rush every day and haven’t heard this dope’s song in a long time...
It needs to be Ted Nugent all the time...
Rush should NEVER have apologized...
I thought he died years ago.
Apparently Letterman interviewed him last year.
It’s on YouTube several places, easy to find the interview.
Gabriel looks like a completely different, person. It’s not just he looks older. He’s unrecognizable.
I have never understood how someone can become unrecognizable, without something like plastic surgery - and guessing from the way he looks that’s not the issue.
He doesn’t appear to be happy.
I think he’s desperate for some attention, and this is how he’s trying to get it.
By lashing out at someone, who does get attention.
Chose what you want to buy and buy it. Stamps are issued by the federal government, and if you buy it from a private vendor, the government will get their fee anyway.
two if by tea!
and as one freeper suggested, maybe Rush can sell a new flavor - “fluke” tea, which is a little tart
Letterman? Isn’t Letterman the guy who made a sex joke about 13 yr old Willow Palin?
“I doubt that he can anyhow — it falls under a compulsory license. Rush pays the statutory royalties, he gets to play the music, period.”
Yea, I think that’s the case. He can complain, but he’s powerless to stop Rush. Us early listeners still remember some of his update songs - there is no way on Earth that the ‘artists’ would have allowed Rush to run them, if they had a way to stop him (his Gay Community Update song was a classic).
Wasn’t that “My Boy Lollipop”?
And now Peter Gabriel has made his own ignorant comments.
Perhaps he could get away with Fluake Tea.
“Wasn’t that “My Boy Lollipop”?”
Close, but nope. That was his Barney Frank update - but yes, still a good example.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner....
If Rush wants to play it Peter Can refuse the royalties from BMI or ASCAP but Rush still gets to play it.
This is just Political BS.
That was Dan Akryod
Maybe you’re thinking of Robert Palmer.
Yes, you’re correct.
I used to get them mixed up. They were strapping British chaps in their youth. Gabriel didn’t age well (liberals never do) and Palmer died at 53.
