[@philipadam7870]

I went back to California and my native state was gone… This song is the best metaphor for all those places across America ruined by shopping malls, parking spaces, etc. Basically, the entire country unless you want to live in a desert or in a tree.

I was fortunate enough to be at the this show! ❤️

[@donr5593]

When I was waiting for Rush to start and this would come on the radio I would tell My 4 year old Granddaughter it's time for Rush and She would run into My arms and We would dance around the kitchen. When She was 6 and I was watching MSNBC to get their take on the news She grabbed the remote changed the station and said that's fake news. Rush had an impact even on a 6 year old.

[@willliamceceliacalhoun1130]

I miss Rush and respect The Pretenders for letting him use their song.

[@laurinnnn]

They didn’t exactly let him use it. He started using it and then ended up having to pay her $100,000 a year which she donated all of it to Peta because she said he hated Peter

[@acopswatch]

@@laurinnnn Not exactly accurate. Rush never paid her a dime to use the song. His company, Excellence in Broadcasting, always paid a negotiated fee to a licensing company. They would take their cut, and send her the "mailbox money" for it and other songs they licensed. What she did with it afterwards was her business.

[@kurtb8474]

@@laurinnnn I listened to Rush for 33 years. Rush was told by his legal team that he did not have permission to use the song after he's already used for about 20 years. He temporarily used some generic song for about a week, When Chrissy was interviewed, they asked her about it. She said she didn't care if Rush used it. "Hell, my parents like him." It was all good after that.

[@LoudounDemocrat]

Rush was apiece of shit and the world is better without him.

[@ProdByClockwerk]

I don’t know if you know this but literally on every issue no matter what Rush always said, “conservatives are correct and liberals are wrong.” If a conservative said appoint it was correct and if a liberal said a point even if it was the same point the conservative just made it magically bad to him. How the fuck is that truth you stupid idiot. You obviously have a brain because you got onto KZbin and wrote English. Use that brain to think about what he actually said you fucking idiot. I could find you hundreds of clips work rush said something is good because of conservative agrees with it and then a week later he says that if she was complete bullshit because a liberal agrees with it. I mean Rush fucking hated Trump like no other and was in favor of cruise until he realized, ‘well I guess trumps going to be the leader of the conservative” and then magically he started sucking trumps dick. He has no morals, no integrity, no nothing. He agrees with literally 100% of conservatives and literally disagrees with liberals 100% of the time. How in the goddamn fuck is that truth. And I’m serious. I want you to literally tell me what truth Rush has spoken and I bet you I can find you him saying the opposite Because he found out a liberal was in favor of it.

I generally frown on using song lyrics to send a message whose meaning is entirely divorced from the context of the song--think the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" hawking pickup trucks. Meet the new truck. Same as the old truck."--but concerning yesterday's election results: Way to GO Ohio!
