perhaps you should check out what he's done before calling him a 'washed up artist'. the guy has been scoring films for a while and still does. i highly doubt he is trying to 'cash out' out over this issue because his record in '78 didn't make any money.

One thing I would say is hell he should have teamed up with the beastie boys and possibly worked with them rather than trying to sue them. I would be kinda flattered if I was a washed up artist and someone dug back in the crates and found something in my music that they liked and wanted to sample. Heck even if I was well known in my day rather than trying to make some dough by sueing in court I think it could have been handled in a more amicable way which I feel ultimately would have paid off in the long run. People that get mad and sue artists for sampling their work to make another artform are only looking to get paid. that's the bottom line. They see an artist doing good off of the sample and figure hey i can get some money from this guy. Now if the Beastie boys were some Underground group this guy wouldn't be bitching... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
