Westerberg, Redux
Posted by Lynnster on August 8, 2008
I added a couple of edits and comments to the post below, but let me just make this clear again -
If you are one of the artists who may or may not be considering suing Paul Westerberg over one or two lines of your song being included on 49:00, then yes – unless you are Ray Davies (and in that case I’d just say, ahhhh, c’mon Ray, you’re breaking my heart!!) – I’ll say it again:
Your HAS BEEN music that hardly anybody cares about anymore except old hippies and grandmothers (and artists with good taste like Westerberg) got smacked with a great big dose of cool it didn’t have anymore a month ago and got introduced to potentially a huge number of young music listeners who could have cared less who you were before because of its inclusion on that MP3, and you better be APPRECIATING it instead of picking up the phone and calling your lawyers.
(No, I can’t bring myself to berate Ray Davies. Now, Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, David Cassidy or anyone else who might be on the list? Yeah.)
