I was at a hotel lobby yesterday, and at the bar, they had ESPN on.
A car commercial came on and, the familiar strains of "Taxman" accompanied the images. Just the instrumental portion, mind you, no vocals.

"Just another Beatles song, Jacko sold off to pay his legal fees," I thought as the guitar solo ripped.

Then a vocal popped in:
"CAUSE WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET!!!"

Now I want to know: does both Paul Weller and George's estate get royalties for this, or is it just Paul.

I'm not sure Weller owns the rights to his own songs

Weller didn't call Sting a sell-out. Essentially, he said Sting was soft.

Cause Paul Weller is hard as fuck.

Waiting for a ride to pay a visitation to my friend Dave -- his mother passed away last week.

Just got back from the funeral now.
