If he starts with the Lawrence Welk music, I'm out.I like how George put his stamp on the show. playing the standards. Frank and Dino. This past Saturday night was great when Ian Punnett had Chuck Levelle on. He was the piano player for the Allman Brothers and a Rolling Stones side man since 1982. Ian was spinning some great tunes.
Why would an artist care how long their music was played into or out of a bump? Isn't an artist protected by the ASCAP music licensing agreement the station/network must buy regardless of whether lyrics are played/heard?Artist never complained about Art using their work for his bumper music. He always let the songs play to the point lyrics were being sung. Rush Limbaugh on the other hand has endured many complaints from artist for using their music as bumper music. He only plays the songs before lyrics are sung due to their complaints. Chrissie Hynde of "The Pretenders" has caught flack for letting Rush use her song "My City is Gone" as intro music. Chrissie said, "My dad loved listening to Rush Limbaugh and he would love to hear my music on his show.
I think the reason they didn’t want their music played on Rush’s show was political. They didn’t want to be associated with his political leaning. Cancel culture has been around long before it got a popular name.Why would an artist care how long their music was played into or out of a bump?

As a aside, I learned how serious music licensing is taken a few years ago when my father died. He had a list of songs he wanted played during his funeral services, and had them put on a memory stick. When we presented the stick to the funeral director, he explained he would be unable to play our stick due to music licensing agreements. We had to go song by song, as he checked the songs they were licensed to play. We got all but one, and even that we got to include, but performed by a different artist than the one Dad wanted.
Yes, I understand that part of BC's post. It's the "didn't play long enough for the lyrics" I don't get.I think the reason they didn’t want their music played on Rush’s show was political.
