I thought it was stolen from one of Bach’s Brandenburg concertos.

Isn’t this barred by time? I mean what happened, somebody just sobered up - don’t make me think how many decades later!

It could be due in part to a new release of their material. Maybe proceeds only from the upcoming releases would be included?
To: ConservativeStatement
Yeah, good luck with that.

Is this a joke? 43 years and they’re just getting around to this?

That’s nothing. Kansas’ “Carry On My Wayward Son” totally rips off Journey’s “I’m Gonna Leave You”.

Not with mine. No PrinterBoard and Quintessential Universal Building Device is utterly ignoring my pleas for a replacement. I sent the bad one back for warranty replacement on the 23rd.

Ethel Merman’s cover of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ really rocked.
