And all the roads
we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
-- Oasis
News of the day: "NEW YORK (AP) -- Viacom Inc. said it will lose $16.8 million in the first week after filmmaker Spike Lee's so-far successful bid to keep its TNN cable network from being renamed Spike TV.
Lee, who claimed the name change was a deliberate attempt to hijack his image and prestige, won a preliminary injunction in state Supreme Court last week barring TNN from calling itself Spike TV starting Monday. Lawyers for Viacom, the media giant that owns the CBS network, appealed."
You know, last time I checked Spike Lee wasn't the only "Spike" in the world. I mean, who can forget Snoopy's brother that lives in the desert -- he's the original Spike. Dude, what is wrong with people??
Seriously, I think I'm going to run right out now and sue the now defunct Pure Prarie League for their song "Amy." Even though their spelling is "Amie" and the song was made in 1972 when I was negative 6. ( "Amy, what you gonna do? I think I could stay with you for a while maybe longer if I do").
And while I'm at it I'll sue former country great James Bonamy for his song bearing my name "Amy is another name for love in my house." And shoot, why not sue the parents of Amy Grant for giving her my name? (Again, that naming occured when I was "picking up taters in Baltimore" but no matter).
Too many Hollywood types like Mr. Lee (whose real name is not even Spike but Shelton Jackson Lee) have too much time on there hands and egos the size of a bus. And more money than most of us will ever see in our lives.
