Other artists upset at use of their songs as bumper music in radio shows: Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, My City was Gone (Rush's theme...she was convinced to let him use it though since he donated to PETA plus her mom likes Rush) and Bruce Hornsby, The Way it Is (upset it was used by Hannity)

Where has Gabriel been? Rush has been using “Steam” and “Sledgehammer” for years and years on both his radio and TV shows (when he was on TV).

Washed up has-been alert.

Do a Youtube search on him, from 2011.

There’s an interview with Letterman.

Then look back several years for him and Sinnead O’Conner.

(yes that leftist dope)

Can’t even recognize the guy. This is a desperate attempt for attention, by a guy who hasn’t a single chance of getting it any other way.

His loss.

If The Pretenders want their significant stipend to dry up, let them pull their song!

Sorry, but that’s NOT the way it works. You pay the mechanical license fee to ASCAP, and you can play the tune. . . .

Rush needs to play “Sledgehammer” at every break just to rub it in....

Along with Bruce Springsteen, Gabriel is one of the music industry’s biggest lefty-losers.

The thoroughly transparant political effort to pile on continues. This obviously ain’t about Fluke.

These are the smae people who will tell anyone who will listen that they abhore Joe McCarthy, yet their actions identically match that which they disingenuously claim to protest. Ever see an actor pulicly proclaim himself (or herself) to be a Conservative? Never, unless they are well established, eve then it’s a risk becuase it is well understood that doing so will blacklist that person and ruin their career. Again, these are the same people that publicly profess their utter disdain for “McCarthy-like” tactics.

Okay, Peter...we know you’re still alive, and you don’t like Rush. Now back to obscurity.

......Gabriel just grabbing some ink? There is no revolt...there is this latest diversion of Dirty Politics to keep the ‘folks’ from staying focused on Obama’s failures...Obama doesn’t give a horses patootie about women’s probems other than getting their votes...oh yes, he does believe in abortion....doesn’t want his daughters being punished for a mistake....don’tchaknow.

Big picture in these? Divide and conquer.

Just keep slicing up the society. Good and bad Americans. My speech and not your speech. This group but not that group.

LOL. Gabriel is being resurrected as "Sledgehammer." He's has been completely dead to the media for over 2 decades, yet a few harsh words against Rush and he's somehow interesting again.

They'd wax Gabriel's corpse (like Lenin) and carry him through the streets if they thought it would help their cause.

they ask to stop using it but it never changes and they collect money.

This is like the limo liberals who witheld their taxes durig vietnam but the actual amount of the tax was in a seperate account which the IRS was told and then the irs “garnished it” so the celeb could claim faux innocence and abouts by the “man”.

These artists have no choice in the matter.
