My City Was Gone
The usage payment money from Rush was donated by Hynde to PETA, for a cause that Rush supported.
"EMI issued a cease and desist request that Limbaugh stop using the song, which he did. When Hynde found out during a radio interview, she said that her parents loved and listened to Limbaugh and she did not mind its use. A usage payment was agreed upon which she donated to PETA.[4][5] She later wrote to the organization saying, "In light of Rush Limbaugh's vocal support of PETA's campaign against the Environmental Protection Agency's foolish plan to test some 3,000 chemicals on animals, I have decided to allow him to keep my song, 'My City Was Gone', as his signature tune..."[5]"
per Wikipedia
A negotiated arrangement, a compromise, a quid pro quo, that true conservatives have listened to for decades, probably without knowing the background.
