And I thought Ray Parker Jr. only did stuff like this...

Huey Lewis sued Parker for plagiarizing the medley to his song "I Want A New Drug" on this. They settled out of court and agreed not to talk about the case in public. In 2001, Lewis talked about the case in public when he revealed that Parker paid to settle the suit on an episode of VH1's Behind The Music. Parker then sued Lewis for violating the terms of their agreement.

Not sure if Nickelback is going to go after themselves any time soon.

How NOT to do a Band Reunion Show

Saw this VH1 band reunion show a couple of days ago, and I was a bit interested to find out just 'where are they now'. It was on Information Society - I had a few (1) of their tapes in the '80s (yeah, I bought the remix tape too I think) and their 1-hit wonder song Pure Energy (I want to know) was really cool. I think it was the drums that did it. Or maybe Spock.

Where did they get the host of that show anyway?

Anyway, they had a 'band reunion' with what was supposed to be 4 members of the famous-era band members. Unfortunately their lead singer didn't show up! (Gets better!) They really should have just called it a day....

Hilarious! Kurt, let me know when you and the band are really going to get together to do a show in Toronto, Canada, or at least when & where you're showing off the car next. http://www.insoc.org/Car.HTML
