YesterdaysAirRace is on a distinguished road

So I woke up this morning, and there on the front page of Yahoo! was a story about Joe Satriani suing Coldplay for plagiarizing <i>Viva La Vida</i> from <i>If I Could Fly</i>.

http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle5292481.ece

So lessee, <i>J'en Ai Marre</i> pre-dates Satriani's by a few years, so clearly we need to be agitating for Laurent Boutonnat to be suing both of them; if not on principal, then on the premise that "there's no such thing as bad publicity"

(Of course I think that Creaky Boards song pre-dates all of them, so maybe this is their chance to sue everyone, get rich, and become famous. Litigation: it's the American way!)
