Vs Rap |
Blabbermouth reports: John Soeder of The Plain
Dealer has released the following quotes from a recent interview with Ozzy
Osbourne:
On rap music: "I'm not so hot on rap music.
The thing about that is, some of the lyrics are so [expletive] good. If
they're that good, why can't they put a musical tune to it? I've heard
some of these lyrics, and they're [expletive] wonderful. If you was to
walk down the road, singing a [expletive] rap song, I don't think you'd
get very far. I think you'd go [expletive] mad. There's no melody."[see

Sued |

Chef No More |

Bust |
tinfoil reports: A pair of apparent Ryan Adams
fans ran afoul of a new law making it a crime to publish songs before their
release to the general public when they made portions of the singer's latest
album available on a Web site frequented by his fans, federal authorities
said Thursday.
Robert Thomas of Milwaukee and Jared Bowser
of Jacksonville, Fla., were indicted under a provision of the Family Entertainment
and Copyright Act (FECA) law that makes it a separate federal crime to
pirate music and movies before they are released to the public, Memphis-based
U.S. attorney Jim Vines and FBI special agent My Harrison said. [see full
