Abraham Lincoln was a good old man
He hopped out the window with his dick in his hand
Said 'excuse me lady, I'm doing my duty
So pull down your pants and give me some booty'
- Dirty Nursery Rhymes 3:16
Amen
This is well. I wish we could also get a reversal of Grand Upright Music, Ltd v. Warner Bros. Records Inc. to get samples back on the music scene.
I had no idea they lost the rights to their own music. After all they did for the industry, that's some seriously fucked up shit! Glad they got it back, but sad it took this long.
The music industry is a microcosm of capital exploiting labor that everyone intuitively understands. Even children have a sense of outrage when they find out Taylor Swift doesn't own her old songs or that Prince had to change his name to release music.
I'm glad 2 Live Crew is still around because it means I can still plan my "2 Live Cutting Crew 80s Nostalgia Tour."
