"He loved listening to Rush, which is why I allowed my song 'My City Was Gone' to be used on his radio show. “The other day when you gave that award to Rush Limbaugh, my father would have been so delighted," she wrote. In an open letter to President Donald Trump in 2020, Hynde reinforced her view. She explained: “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 and to donate all proceeds from the deal to further PETA's efforts in that regard.” The amount was reported to be $100,000 at the time. His comment led to Hynde enforcing her rights, but even then she offered a middle ground: No action would result from his breach of licensing if he forwarded all due royalties to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaign. That changed in 1997 after Limbaugh told the press that he liked playing “My City Was Gone” because “it was an environmentalist, animal-rights wacko and was an anti-conservative song.” He added: “It is anti-development, anti-capitalist, and here I am going to take a liberal song and make fun of them at the same time.” She believed in a live-and-let-live approach to politics, even though it sometimes led to family arguments. Her dad, Melville "Bud" Hynde, was a Limbaugh fan. Because Limbaugh was subject to radio-broadcast regulations, Hynde was within her rights to pursue him for misuse and prevent its continuation – but she didn’t, and she had a good reason.
