re: #503 capitalist piglet

I don’t know if there’s been a resolution to that issue, but I heard it, and it seems pretty blatant to me (could have been one of those subconscious things, but the hook comes about 50 seconds into each tune…and it’s about as close to identical as you could get); now they’re saying that Joe ripped it off from some Cat Steven’s tune, and there are some similarities, but it’s not as obvious.

Interesting. You know that Coldplay were involved in another controversy a few months ago with a small time band saying that Chris Martin was in the audience at one of their shows and ripped off one of their melodies for a Coldplay song. Trend?
