  1. Or a hawk swooped by. I've seen squirrels go flat & stop moving for 5-10 minutes when the local red tail dives at them.

  3. For years I've heard that a certain hit song was a complete ripoff of a Rolling Stones song and that the Stones sued the band that had the hit. I didn't think it was that big a ripoff and couldn't believe that a judge found for the Stones. Terri Hemmert of WXRT posted on FB the complete story today. Turns out it wasn't the Stones, it was their manager Allan Klein (he who was also the main reason the Beatles broke up) that sued received the proceeds (~$5 M) and had the song writing credits changed to Jaggar-Richards (despite the lyrics being completely different). Also, it wasn't the Stones that were ripped off, it was Andrew Lloyd Oldham, the Stones previous manager, who released an instrumental version of the Stones song (btw - the Stones ripped the song off The Staple Singers, who "didn't have a high-powered lawyer"). With Allan Klein's passing, the Stones (who actually liked the version done by The Verve) allowed Richard Ashcroft song writing credits on future releases). You'll recognize this immediately...
