Follow-ups/Corrections
Ed Sheeran - SECOND lawsuit dropped over the “Thinking Out Loud” song. “It is an unassailable reality that the chord progression and harmonic rhythm in ‘Let’s Get It On’ are so commonplace, in isolation and in combination, that to protect their combination would give ‘Let’s Get It On’ an impermissible monopoly over a basic musical building block.” https://variety.com/2023/music/news/ed-sheeran-second-copyright-lawsuit-dismissed-thinking-out-loud-1235616116/

- Maynard James Keenan thinks he’s clever. Dressed in drag for Tool’s performance at Welcome to Rockville. What has seemingly been overlooked it the DRAG-SHOW portion of the legislation. Dressing in drag does NOT denote a Drag Show…  "any show, exhibition, or other presentation in front of a live audience which, in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities." That includes "lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts,"
