| McCartney
Stole Song? |
Day in Rock reports: Does Paul McCartney owe
Curtis Mayfield's estate some royalties? The intro and 1st verse of the
song "Anyway" from McCartney's latest album Chaos And Creation In The
Back Yard sounds strikingly familiar to the Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart
arrangement of Mayfield's "People Get Ready". While many astute reviewers
picked up on this "borrowing" when reviewing the album when it was released
last year, we have learned that McCartney is definitely familiar with the
song. In March 99 when McCartney was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall
of Fame as a solo artist (along with Mayfield), McCartney participated
in an all-star jam with Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel and yes
one of the four songs they performed was "People Get Ready," according
to SpringsteenLyrics.com [see the full story link to read their account
of that performance]- Click

| Doors
Sellout? |
Reuters reports: As the Doors' surviving members
gear up for the band's 40th anniversary -- with plans for a comprehensive
boxed set, reissues, merchandise and an interactive Las Vegas attraction
-- there is a possibility that their music may be used in commercials for
the first time. "Selling out the Doors is not an option. On the other hand,
certain commercials can be effective at reaching listeners," said manager
Jeff Jampol.[see full story for more of the lame justification on why this
isn't selling out.]- Click

Wee Hurley |
Contact Music reports: FALL OUT BOY star ANDY
HURLEY was left red-faced when a security guard caught him having sex during
a cinema showing of children's movie CHICKEN LITTLE. The SUGAR WE'RE GOIN'
DOWN rocker was ejected by an official who caught him with his pants down.

Fall Out Boy? Read the full story and see if you can figure it out. But
boys and girls remember, don't show your chicken little in public]-

| Bodom
Pick Slayer over Ozzfest |
Day in Rock reports: Our very own Mark Hensch
recently caught up with Children of Bodom's Keyboardist Janne Warman to
discuss a variety of topics including their involvement in the Unholy Alliance
Tour. Here is that portion of the interview.
Mark: I'd like to ask you about Bodom's
upcoming involvement with the Unholy Alliance Tour....I know I'm psyched
to see Mastodon, Lamb of God, Bodom, and Slayer all on one bill! How did
all this come together?
Janne Warman: This is a dream come true
for us, as you almost have to be a Slayer fan (laughs). We're happy to
be on it this summer as it's a really great line-up and we like Slayer
and the other bands. We're actually doing it instead of Ozzfest, who've
been trying to get us to play for the last three years or so. [click the

Vs Education |

America for allegedly downloading music illegally, 20-year-old Cassi Hunt
is in no position to pay off thousands of dollars in fines.
But the advice a RIAA representative gave
the sophomore physics major at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
didn't really sound reasonable: Drop out and get a job or switch to a cheaper
community college.[you really need to click over for the full story on

| Payola
Is Fine? |
FMQB reports: Entercom Communications has
moved for dismissal of Eliot Spitzer's lawsuit filed against the company
last month over payola allegations, making them the first radio ownership
group to fight back against the New York Attorney General's war on alleged
impropriety in the music industry.
...The company's lawyers argue that for
the suit to have merit, Spitzer must prove that consumers were harmed by
deception on Entercom's behalf. The lawyers say that no one was harmed,
because terrestrial radio is a free medium.[no one is hurt except credible
artist that can't purchase airplay and listeners that are force fed crap.
