Funny you should mention it. I was watching Vh1 DISCO and all the old artists were talking about that. They use so many samples in rap and one guy was saying that if some tune from the 70's was so good then why come up with a different bassline or whatever when you can just simply use it.

I think BB King said that all art(music) even blues or rock is all a copy of something else, nothing is original.

That Killers song "All These Things That I Have Done" that song reminds me so much of the Ramones or even The Sex Pistols. The latest Audioslave when I first heard it was such a Zeppelin rip off. It was also so blatant that I was sickened by their lack of newness.

you know, this dumbass that i dated in hs told me once that new things, i THINK he meant writings but im not sure, are only 10% new and 90% borrowed.

this is interesting you bring up now, b/c i'm staring to go through copyright stuff for my book, and it's quite the process. as it shows on my myspace, my chapter titles are lyrics, and i will have to ask permission, and probably pay, to use them. i am scared to find out how much. in the actual text i do some quoting too, and am trying to either delete that or change to paraphrasing if/when possible.

and still i have a huge list.

CC is biggest on there, so far.

i'm not a huge Zep fan so i don't know what to say about that, but i do love given to fly. always felt kinda weird for loving that song cuz so many i knew thought it was mediocre, but i really love, there are some just awesome parts.

"well fuckers, he still stands"

also, there is a quote by some famous writer, maybe hemmingway, something like, "if it's good enough, i'll steal it."
