(CNN)The use of "Eye of the Tiger" at a rally for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis has Survivor's Jim Peterik "risin' up to the challenge" -- and threatening action.
Peterik, who co-wrote the stirring "Rocky III" theme song, is upset that Davis emerged from jail Tuesday to the strains of his song. Davis, the Rowan County clerk, had been held in contempt of court for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
"I have not authorized the use of Eye of the Tiger for use by Kim Davis and my publisher will issue a C&D (cease and desist order). This does not reflect my views," Peterik wrote on Twitter.

good ol' Country twang. Could be because they always sing about crying in their beer or losing the girl...and various versions of the same...and liberals, well, have a bit higher thoughts.
But don't get me wrong, I listen to a Country Old Songs station a bit each day. Still a bit of the red dirt left in my shoes.
