Supreme Court declines to hear lawsuit vs. the Beastie Boys

[Resident Loser]

...sarcasm...yes! For someone who uses sophomoric humor, I would have thought you would be operating at least a tenth-grade level, spelling wise..."no insult implied right?" only as much as your "...w(h)ine and cheese..." bit implied...

...What size feet do you have Jim?...

Again, I never used the word "simpleton" and I never attacked your taste in music...I did, in fact, lambaste some of your statements, pure and simple. Is the shoe on the other foot?

...It also reaches new heights, I encourage you to abandon your prejudices and give it another chance...or listen to the same ol' stuff - but don't complain to me about boring and formulaic...

Some heights to one may seem mighty low to others...as stated previously, anytime I hear something with promise, it really goes nowhere in the end...stale, repetitive, formulaic...the first time you hear muted guitar strings slashed-at thru a wah-wah, wocka-ja-wocka style(which presages record scratching) you say "hey that's cool"...it gets old real quick, however. No, I don't listen to the SOS, I'm much more interested in classic jazz...it's all new, different and contains everything I look for in music: melody, harmony and musical talent.

...not the environment...

My mistake...given my current mindset, I thought you were referring to non-renewable resources...money, as long as I am gainfully employed, is not one of them IMO...

...If it walks like a duck...okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt...but must you always be so negative, cheer up guy!...

I have no laments, there is a world of archived music to choose from...you think I'm negative? I'm a realist and I see that as a positive...BTW, I'm as happy as a clam!!!

...Your inability to grasp this speaks volumes about your limited view on what constitutes "copyright infringement"...

Well, ya' got me there...I assume you are referring to time signature(5/4)...all music is subject to interperetation or improvisation(some of it is even called for in the score)...but I fail to see how this relates to "copyright infringement'...enlighten me.

I'm sorry, back in my day "also ran" and "wannabe" weren't compliments...perhaps you could elaborate so nobody mistakes you for being full of it.

I never intended those terms to be compliments, you may wish to refer to my "wocka-ja-wocka" remarks a few paragraphs back...When the riff from "Walk This Way" appeared in the the rap, I thought it was interesting if a bit plagiaristic...when everybody else starts to do similar things, it's old news, day-old bread...how many reality shows do we really need? The answer, obviously: none.

...You're usually sharper than this...

Sorry I fall short of your idea of "cutting edge"...I'll have to get out my whetstone and give my barb a stroke or two...
