He should have changed his name to Datsun

barrages of barratry.

Awesome. I had to google that one.

I don't believe you're a real redneck.

Blown.

[HandyDandy]

You may very well be correct that there is nothing new under the sun, and yet, I feel that this too will pass.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well even hillbillies believe in edjumacation. I saw it when I visited the little college in Pippa Passes, Kaintucky.

[Enchante]

It’s all water under the bridge.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’se gots a redneck heart and a college brain.

[nickcarraway]

Maybe the Eagles can sue Winslow, Arizona for trying to capitalize on the fame of one of their songs.

[bagster]

this too will pass.

Hey! I invented that one.

You owe me a nickel.

[bagster]

Haha.

:)

[bagster]

I got a redneck heart and a black girl bootay.

It's a mixed up, jumbled up, shook up world.

(The kinks stole that one from me, btw.)

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air

I need to go find a decent copy of that album in the used record store - been a long time since I heard it.

“The small hotel originally opened under the name Hotel California in 1950”

Eagles are scum.

[Does so]

Good one...!

:)

[blackdog]

The real test is if Randy Meisner would sleep there?

[Terry Mross]

Don Felder had to sue the Eagles for taking his name off of the writer’s credit. He wrote the melody all by himself. Otherwise, it’s just a poem.

[scrabblehack]

...and the hotel is physically located in Mexico, but was applying for a US trademark?

Had it been granted, and some other hotel in Mexico used the same or similar name, did they actually expect the US to prosecute?

[ifinnegan]

I’m not surprised by that.

[Tallguy]

Glenn Frey dies and the suit gets dropped/settled. Coincidence?

[atc23]

I should have copyrighted the Curly Bill meme and the expression that goes with it, which was originally -

“ Smells Like Something Died”

I’ve said for some time that Islam is the Hotel California of religions for its “death for apostasy” strictures. So yes, I agree very much with your “sinister connotations” comment.
