Frankie Sullivan of the band Survivor made it clear Tuesday night that he is not a supporter of Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

After Davis was released from jail earlier on Tuesday, a rally was held in her honor, and Survivor's song "Eye of the Tiger" blasted in the background as she made her entrance alongside Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. On Facebook, Sullivan wrote, "NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use 'My Tune - The Eye Of The Tiger.' I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C'mom [sic] Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that."
