Something More Blatant than the Willie Dixon Compositions Plagerized by British Rockers
So its not bad enough that a popular Blues Rock organization who shall go unnamed at this point should use a number of Willie Dixons' compositions with slight arrangement differences on one of their early albums without giving any credit what so ever. That album subsequently sold well earning them fortunes. Now in my research to find the hidden meaning in Hugh Lauries' "Too Long Johnny" I come across this back woods by the creek acoustic-electric duo performing a rudimentary ditty that I can tell full well that another British band whose name has a colour in it clearly stole the base idea from and turned it into something only slightly more complex. Click here to see a video of this talented pair and tell me that they to haven't been robbed. You I am sure will immediately recognize the tune from your high school dances and record hops.
Clearly the simple man's greatness is once again stolen without notice. One wonders how many other "Great" hits are actually the work of a simpler more honest folk.
I can't change things but I can make more people aware. Tomorrow in the exercise yard I intend to make a speech revealing this injustice. On some levels this is worse than global warming!
