Last month Newt Gingrich and Frank Sullivan, the founding member of the band Survivor, agreed to settle their lawsuit over the candidate’s use of the Rocky III tune as his entrance music. On Tuesday, Gingrich finally apologized, writing in a letter, “We are very sorry that your song ‘Eye of the Tiger’ was associated with the 2012 Newt Gingrich campaign. We will do our utmost to assure that this does not happen again.” Of course, he can’t be held responsible for what people play at spontaneous pro-Newt rallies, but these events have dropped off quite a bit since another guy accepted the Republican nomination.
