Whose Side Are You On: Radiohead vs. Prince…

*sigh*

Prince is on another war against youtube again! This is nothing new isn’t it? Videos of Prince covering Radiohead’s hit song of “Creep” at this year’s Coachella is being removed from youtube by the request of the Purple One himself. *ahem* HELLO, PRINCE! YOU DID NOT WRITE THE SONG!!!!

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is calling out on Prince trying to remind him that “Creep” is Radiohead’s song, not Prince’s. And Thom Yorke is exactly right, Radiohead wrote the song “Creep”, they own the copyright. So if Radiohead wants the Prince version up on youtube, it should stay up.

I’m siding with Radiohead all the way. I used to respect Prince but now I fuckin’ can’t stand the guy anymore. Prince is an egomaniac and a control freak. The dude only cares about himself and the money and fame he makes with the music. He could care less about his fans or Radiohead fans.

Radiohead owns the copyright to “Creep”. When performing live shows, famous and unsigned artists have the right to cover any song they please, but if they release a cover song on an album or video, bands would of course need the original artist permission.

Prince is a fucking hypocrite for whining about his fans using his work without his copyright permission when he should look at Radiohead’s work with youtube. Fuck Prince and his music.

I give the former Prince fans credit for making Prince Fans United and fighting back at this asshole. Kudos to Thom for speaking out about this! Boycott Prince’s music career already!

BREAKING NEWS: MOLE FOUND ON R. KELLY’S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

For the past few weeks in the R. Kelly child pornography trial, R. Kelly and his attorneys has maintained that there is no mole on R. Kelly’s back in the video and the naked black man having sex with an underage girl on the videotape is not him. Yesterday on Thursday a video forensics expert named Grant Fredericks was brought in to get more deeper into the video. Fredericks successfully found the mole on the back of the man in the video in the same spot that was described where the mole was.

Kelly’s attorney Ed Genson continue to cover up and claim that the mole in the video is at a different spot and could be a technical imperfection. Kelly’s attorneys continue to maintain it is not R. Kelly in the video.

The Associated Press reports:

R. Kelly will soon be singing “I Believe I Can Fly” in prison. They honestly think they can get away with this one.

*waits for R. Kelly fans to come to this blog to defend him*

Report: Steven Tyler finally speaks out about checking into rehab, confirms new Aerosmith album and tour! GREAT NEWS!!!! :)

Aerosmith fans! We can now sigh with relief! Because the good news is, that Steven Tyler turning himself into rehab had nothing to do with dangerous and illegal drugs. He’s having surgeries on his feet, he corrected to the media that he’s in rehabilitative care, it had nothing to do with drug addiction! He did it for a safe environment to get away from everything to get his feet back in shape. He also broke the big news that Aerosmith will go back into the studio to record new studio album and tour to follow.

http://www.myspace.com/masonjennings

Congrats on going back to indie Mason! Back to his roots where he belongs!

In case you haven’t noticed, now that Mason is no longer a major label artist, you can see he has more time to post in his myspace blog himself more often now. When he was signed in Epic, he hardily ever posted in his blog.

His new songs are sounding great and I’m definitely getting the new album!

Report: Ray Manzarek working on the Doors documentary…

Ray Manzarek the longtime keyboardist for the legendary psychedellic rock band The Doors revealed to Billboard.com that he is working on a major documentary for the Doors. This film will be in light of the 41st Anniversary of the debut self titled Doors album released back in 1966. Manzarek says that this film will be a diss at Oliver Stone’s film “The Doors” that stars Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison. If you remember this, Ray Manzarek hated “The Doors” film so much because the film never stayed true to the band and Jim Morrison himself. Ray Manzarek worked closely with Oliver Stone for the film, but then they had a fallen out after the film was released, Ray was upset how much garbage that film was. It appears that Ray Manzarek is “still” unhappy with Oliver Stone and Ray wants to make his own Doors documentary to show Oliver how it’s done.

Ray says the film will include never before seen footage of the Doors whether on stage performing, backstage segments, interviews with the band, or whatever is in there. They already filmed the first cut of the documentary and Ray says it won’t be out ’til the next 6 months.

Billboard reports:

As a big fan of the Doors, I am looking forward to this. Ray’s film sounds interesting!

Oliver Stone ruined The Doors, he’ll ruin George W. Bush with his movie too.

Our new NY governor David Patterson pardons rapper “Slick Rick” who has spent more than 5 years in prison for the attempted murder of two men in 1991. Slick Rick is a legendary hip hop pioneer that changed the rap music industry.

Patterson says that Slick Rick (real name: Ricky Walters) served enough of his sentence that he should be able to be let free so he can move on with his life and get his past behind him.

The Associated Press reports:

If Slick Rick goes in a murderous rampage again like he did before, impeach Mr. Patterson.

We always get one bad governor after the next.
