Quick what's the last tune you heard by The Black Keys? Yeah, "Lonely Boy" is getting pretty damn old isn't it? They're busy with legal stuff though.
The suit was filed in a New York court against Pinnacle Entertainment, owners of L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles and Manhattan Production Music claiming the company ripped off their song "Howlin' For You" in a recent ad. If you recall they were flipping out on Home Depot as well. OH Wait! and Pizza Hut.
Pinnacle denied any wrong doing at the time: "We bought a licensed musical interpretation of the song," later amending that statement to say that they bought "a licensed track inspired by 'Howlin' for You' by the Black Keys."
The band, however, claims that the casino has committed "blatant and purposeful infringement."
The band is hot on the belief that everyone is ripping them off. Not unlike the school nerd who thinks everyone is copying his test paper. The problem is pretty soon this band is going to be more famous for its paranoid lawsuit than there music. Speaking of music…
Where is the new music? These guys were the new Messiah just a year ago and now? Well its not new material. Just like fun their milking there hit till the udders explode. The band will be performing at The Grammys and The New Orleans Jazz Fest, oh yeah, and a court of law.
The blatant misuse of “there”, “they’re” and “their” in this small piece is disturbing. I hate people that continually correct the grammar of everyone around them, especially those who do it anonymously on the internet. However, I just could not let this go without hopefully bringing it to someone’s attention. Maybe it is just me, but I have no idea what this sentence means: “Just like fun their milking there hit till the udders explode.” I think the fourth word in this sentence is supposed to be “they’re” and the sixth word should be “their.” I’m not 100% sure because even when I replace the incorrect words with the ones that seem more appropriate to me it still doesn’t really make sense. It could just be me though. There is another instance of the author confusing these three homonyms in the previous paragraph, but that is easy to find if you would like to see it in action for yourself. Hopefully I’m not just a nitpicky grammar nerd pointing out things that no one else cares about. There could be several errors in the paragraph that I just wrote that other people could pick out. I don’t know. It just disturbs me when people feel confident enough to publish their writing on a website for the world to see when it is so full of obvious errors. My first grade teacher would have given this an F. I’m sorry. However, when writing an article criticizing others I think you should at least proofread your work. If you are not capable of doing that, have someone else do it for you.
there there… IL
