I have no doubt the EIB network has the permission of the publisher to use the track.

As for those calling for this ditty to be dropped by Limbaugh because Hynde is an idiot, never lose sight of the fact that its a great four-bar blues riff that is as enjoyable as it is now identifiable with the Great One.

And it drives that bitch crazy that he legally uses it.

"I have no doubt the EIB network has the permission of the publisher to use the track."

They don't need permission any more than your local DJ needs permission to play a Michael Jackson song. They just pay the stardard ASCAP/BMI roaylty, and be done with it. No problem.

Rush will never drop the song, which is like a multi-million dollar trademark. Generations from now, The Pretenders will be remembered only as the folks who played the Rush theme song. Like Rossini is best remembered as the guy who wrote the "Lone Ranger" theme. (And The Pretenders are no Rossini.)

And she is probably getting royalties for his playing it...I heard on a talk show today she ought to take the money she gets from Rush's playing it and using it against the war.
