Yesterday

to Sean Hannity’s radio show during the GW Bush years? (It got changed to “This Is How We Roll” by Florida-Georgia Line shortly after that song charted.)

Rush Limbaugh also started his show with “My City Was Gone” by The Pretenders. But did he know what Chrissie Hynde was singing about in “a government that had no pride”?
