We’re clearly off on a tangent, but I disagree with your notion that doing the traditional arranged by is little different from claiming it as an original.
By noting it as traditional, you are saying I did not write this. It is old. So old we don’t know who wrote it.
An area of some interest for me as a musician playing some traditional, arranged by us, songs. Lily of the West, by way of example.

Led Zep stole lots of stuff - but in this case I don’t see it. They stole a riff, not a song. Is the riff separately copyrighted?

That was creatively humorous, as most Simpsons stuff was. However, I never watched one single episode. It wasn’t my style of humor.

Spirit money ran out. So, I guess now they're just "Spirit in the Sky."

“My brother bought a block of twenty five seats on the main floor, and needless to say, it was quite a party.”
Probably cost a total of $125 back then which would have been two weeks wages working after school at the grocery store.

Probably cost a total of$125 back then which would have been two weeks wages working after school at the grocery store. Actually, my bro never worked in a grocery store. We've been in the automotive business for over forty years. And back then tickets to Cobo Hall were probably about 7-10 dollars apiece. I remember my first concert at Cobo back in about 1972.The band was Grand Funk, and the tickets were $3.50,$4.50, and $5.50. I saw a lot of great shows and bands at Cobo when Detroit was truly the Rock and Roll capital of the world.

I was the one working in the grocery back then.

As far as royalties are concerned, I said. You don’t pay royalties to anyone else on an original composition you record, and you don’t pay royalties to anyone else on a traditional song you arranged. So there’s no difference in that respect.
