    (sigh) I wish I could get a lawyer and sue folks for a million bucks for trying to make money they'll share with me for my work rejects nobody wanted for the last 25 years.



    This is ignorant, and I like The Ramones. A judge needs to tell Apple they'll consider this case when they've sold 900,000 copies of his songs and failed to pay any royalties to the guy.



    What is it about has-been artists nobody's heard from for decades who suddenly attack companies that just might be giving them some revenue and a chance for a new gig or two? I thought the idea was for people to buy and hear your music. Maybe he's changed his philosophy, the songs no longer reflect his attitudes or thoughts on life, and he's embarrassed to have his name on the tunes.



    Or maybe he's just a broke-ass drummer who wants out of his Ramada Inn gig with Murph and the MelloTones.

    It'll take sales of 9 million of those songs for him to get what he wants.
