"Rand Paul Clashes With Rush Over "The Spirit of Radio"" - MotherJones.com, June 3, 2010

Today is the 45th anniversary of the release of Permanent Waves, and it is still making waves and remains many fan's favorite album.....    Sixteen years ago, when Libertarian Rand Paul successfully campaigned for Senate, he frequently quoted Rush's lyrics and used their music in his campaign, but the band did not approve.  As shared by MotherJones.com in Rand Paul Clashes With Rush Over "The Spirit of Radio", the band's legal representative eventually sent a cease and desist demand to Paul, but explained that the band didn't necessarily disagree with his politics but rather were simply against the use of their music in a U.S. political campaign.
