@debutch Thanks! Seems like stealing is quite common...sometimes they get caught sometimes they don't - then there is the gray area of "sampling" and "parody" they really have not figured it all out yet...
@debutch Backed by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, James Burton, Glen D. Hardin, Tom Waits, kd lang, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, JD Souther, T Bone Burnett, Steven Soles, and Jennifer Warnes. Recorded September 30, 1987.
Yeh, I've always thought that sampling is a tricky one. It's like 'borrowing' someone else's material...but to create your own work of Art with it......THANKS for that info! WHAT a line-up!!
@ZenPyramid WOW!! Those links were great! To hear an artist react to the theft of their work is priceless! I like when he starts to criticize her chorus vs his HA! Please tell me they won some money off of this? Thanks I enjoyed it!
@christineb I am glad! Yup the courts thought so too to the TUNE of over 7 mil!!! The song made over 16 mil - Not sure if you saw my first post :Robin Thicke and Pharrell received over 5 million each, TI got 700,000 and the record company got the rest.
