Kim Davis and Mike Huckabee sued by the band Survivor for $1.2 million
The band Survivor has filed a $1.2 million lawsuit against Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for using their 1982 hit song Eye of the Tiger at a rally earlier this week.
The song, made popular by the 1982 film Rocky III, roared through loud speakers outside Carter County Detention Center in Grayson, Kentucky, after Davis was released from jail. She had been held for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite a Supreme Court ruling against her.
‘The song has motivated thousands through the years to reach beyond their limits. Its use for the release of Kim Davis does not support my views or my politics,’ band co-founder Jim Peterik tells Billboard. ‘I have contacted my publishers to make sure this usage is stopped immediately.’
Peterik co-wrote the song with the band’s guitarist Frankie Sullivan who had earlier expressed his outraged in a Facebook post: ‘NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use The Eye Of The Tiger. I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C’mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that – See Ya really SoooooooonnnnnnN!!!!!!’
