I saw Dr John over 30 times. Almost all of them in the last 15 years. His band wasn’t great for a time in recent years as he fired all the old timers and put his then girlfriend who was decades younger in charge of the band. It didn’t work and lasted a little over a year before he ended the relationship and the band.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:26pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - I think Dr John must have been predestined to play the piano. His talent was so prodigious and he only took it up because he couldn't play guitar at the level he wanted!

as far as i'm concerned anyone who jacks a 'stones riff and doesn't get sued gets props.

I think we're way too overwrought about "ripping off." I mean, Bach, Telemann, Handel...c'mon, it's how you create.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm talking about wholesale theft, not inspiration or homage. The kind of stuff that gets people sued (successfully).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
coelacanth∅:

and it is a pretty basic riff -like the melody on "he's so fine"; basic stuff. i mean it's not like anyone could get sued for that...
Avatar 10:42pm
fleep:

owning a set of tones in a certain order is absurd to begin with but we pay people for smearing paint too
  10:43pm
Dean:

Wholesale theft: as I mentioned, Bach, Telemann, Handel, et al. There are compositions credited to each that are (arguably, okay) wholesale theft. We give way too much credit to "individual talent."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:43pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The Stones are ridiculously litigious and that’s where my feelings lie on the issue because of it. The whole bittersweet symphony lawsuit was tad much. At least they finally did the right thing and gave Richard Ashcroft back some of the rights.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:43pm
coelacanth∅:

well bands like the stones and even more so led zeppelin and peter paul & mary didn't just derive elements beyond the possibility of not being conscious of it; they did other people's songs and put their names under them.

coelacanth∅:

Matt, i will never forgive the stones for that, and vocally promote stealing their music when possible.
  10:46pm
Dean:

My suspicion--and that's all it is--is that the bands (except for U2 and Metallica) don't give a flaming poop. It's their "handlers" who challenge the infringers. Consider Springsteen, who invited folks to tape his shows, until Jon Landau became his manager.

Yep, for sure, Larry.

I don't know enough about the Stones' background, their misdeeds, etc., but I remember a silly ad hominem book about The Clash not being genuine punks, because they were art school educated. That's not an argument.

Huey P Meaux licensed those LA Mac, Jessie & Shirley recordings out to Wand & Chess. There is also a Crazy Cajun LP from the sessions & he licensed the My Children 45 to both Wand & Chess with the Wand 45 being pulled from release (I think). Typically ridiculous Crazy Cajun antics!!!

and the fact that Jagger and Richards claimed total credit for songs they didn't write; and Jagger fucked Mick Taylor over -and over -and over -is enough for me to accept the other allegations as beyond feasible. (as well as the bittersweet symphony theft, which is fact)

I'll just add, recognizing that we're celebrating and mourning the life's work of Dr. John, that all of our snide, gossipy, and in my case mostly ignorant commentary is the water in which he and all of the greats swam. He can handle the derailed conversation. We still love him.

I just think thst most folks commenting on the ABKCO/Bittersweet Symphony legal case have not spent any time reading any documents regarding the case, copyright law, or art appropriation.

@Mike - I agree. I don't know much about it other than the Verve (?) borrowed the Andrew Loog Oldham thing

Fair enough Mike. I certainly was guilty of that.

Mike Sin makes a very important point. Sometimes these disputes seem -- and are -- bogus. But typically they can be mind-bendingly and mind-numbingly complex.

Mike, is there a JD following your name by chance?

well, one thing is a fact -jagger and richards' names are under the song, and they did not write it. and they're filthy rich already when the verve were in dire straights and that song was their ticket out.
other facts are that the use of the strings are 1) barely recognizable/ not at all recognizable to most people 2) not written by jagger and richards.

He became a professor and the next great New Orleans piano player. Davell Crawford probably is the current champion. He’s Sugar Boy’s grandson.

how many times did beatles songs get slightly rearranged or riffs used outright? 1000? 2000? 5,000 times? did they ever sue anyone?
nope.

Matt from New Orleans:

The Stones didn’t sue. ABCKO did which the stones have no control of.

Check out Bryan Wright's Rivermont Records for historical and contemporary recordings of NOLA music.

James Booker was in L.A. But it was Jerry Garcia he played with....later,of course.

Matt, i know; but i do think they could've stopped it - being abcko's biggest money-maker, they'd have some pull. maybe not. but they certainly could've objected to the lie of putting their names as writers.
