  • Meeting of the Minds – 'Cause They Never Go out of Style: Why
    Meeting of the Minds – ‘Cause They Never Go Out of Style: Why Musicians Are Registering More Trademarks Than Ever By: Erik M. Pelton, Erik M. Pelton & Associates, and Elizabeth M. Dukette, Pence Law Library What do Taylor Swift, LL Cool J, Steve Miller, and Jennifer Lopez all have in common? Despite occupying different genres and decades of music, these music icons are all part of the recent trend in the music industry to apply to register trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Taylor Swift already owns over 50 registrations, and has submitted over 60 more applications to register a number of lyrics and phrases found on her album 1989, including THIS SICK BEAT and CAUSE WE NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE for use in connection with various types of clothing, accessories, and athletic wear. Similarly, James Todd Smith has more than a dozen pending applications to register his stage name LL COOL J for use in connection with live animal-riding performances and other entertainment services. Steve Miller, owner of the registration to the Steve Miller Band name, recently submitted eight more trademark applications including an application for the I’M A JOKER, I’M A SMOKER, I’M A MIDNIGHT TOKER lyric from the 1973 hit “The Joker,” along with an application to register the iconic winged horse image from the 1997 Book of Dreams album for use in connection with medicinal tobacco-free cigarettes and other smoking paraphernalia. Jennifer Lopez, who owns over 20 trademark registrations, recently applied to register a stylized logo of her “J-Lo” nickname (a “J” and “L” connected at the top with an overlapping “O”), for use in connection with over 10 classes of goods, including cosmetics and various home goods.

Over 160 films have been made of his novels, more than any other author. In the 1920s, one of Wallace's publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him.

He was known for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, The Four Just Men, the Ringer, and for creat- ing the Green Archer character during his lifetime.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Track Listing
    Track listing: 1 If Love Should Go 4:33 Streets - 1St/1983 Peter: This is another favorite with Mike Slamer on guitar. When City Boy broke up he started Streets with Steve Walsh from Kansas. This is just a wonderful -80´s rock track with a great chorus and the kind of guitar work I enjoy! A perfect album starter! 2 Jet Airliner 4:10 Steve Miller Band - Book Of Dreams/1977 Jamie: It´s just a great song that I always wanted to record! When we tried it out with LAD, it was a keeper right away...So simple - so damn good! 3 Working For The Weekend 3:48 Loverboy - Get Lucky/1981 Mikael: Loved this song from the first time I ever heard it. This song has been a kind of a guide for me when I´m writing songs. All the dramatic chords and big harmonies are just there - Brilliant song. Always wanted to perform it. 4 Wig Wam Bam 3:16 The Sweet - The Sweet/1972 Jamie: The first record (single) I got was Ballroom Blitz (1974) with The Sweet. I was totally blown away - I knew from that very moment what I´d do in my life. Wig Wam Bam was also a favorite and an easy pic for this album. 5 Slow Down 3:32 John Miles - Stranger In The City/1977 Jamie: I borrowed a friend’s vinyl with J M (Rebel from -76) and loved many of those songs. «Music» was a big hit back then, and I got all his albums from that day on.

Despite their apparent thematic uniformity, the five compositions featured are characterised by a wide stylistic and aesthetic diversity. In terms of instrumentation, there is a fragile balance between works for Western instruments such Aas that for alto flute and string quartet (Book of Dreams II) or voice with prepared piano (Five Pieces), the electroacoustic timbre of the Rhodes piano (Dream of a Butterfly II), and more unusual combinations such as piano and electronics (Circles), or shō, koto, female voice, Chinese gongs and violin (Eyes are now Dim).
