ok, someone needs to print these out (esp. Hoodoo Sue You :rotfl) and give them to Jeff at one of the tour stops. It would be priceless (and a pipe dream) to hear him sneak in a few of those lines at a show... :lol

Word on the street near the Loft is that Coomer and Henneman are getting litigious too.

Henneman? Wow, he goes wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy back into UT days doesn't he? Weren't they playing with the Bottle Rockets as far back as Still Feel Gone? I really like his guitar work on AM.

 

Seems a little suspicious that most people who Tweedy works with end up hating him.

I haven't heard anything about Brian Henneman hating Jeff Tweedy.

 

He may not be at the courthouse, but he certainly isn't president of the fan club either.

Yes he does, and because of that, Tweedy definitely owes him a bundle of cash. Henneman should sue Tweedy's ass off.

 

One day in the future Chicago lawyers are going to look back on these days as the golden age of shisterdom.

I interpreted the 'word on the street' post as non-serious. I'd bet that 99.9% of the rest of us did the same. Henneman and Tweedy get along fine.

You're probably right. On second read my interpretation is that NightOfJoy was really just looking for an opportunity to use the word

litigious
.

 

Is this how rumors get started?

I thought the punchline was "word on the street near the loft".

 

Heh.

No, but the following have been offered up:

At Least that's what I think you said, because I never signed the contract

I'm the man who sued you

(I got paid) Less than you think

 

song title game is fun.

Muzzle of Fees:

 

There's a random filed lawsuit

And a muzzle of fees

My wallett's come unstitched

From meeting his pleas

 

When Jay plays some say he's genius,

I don't think they're wrong

But six years of making music

Was two years too long

 

And the songs get passed from stage to stage

Endlessly, and I get paid

When the suit blows through

Into the courts in May

Finally back to Jay

 

You're assuming he left a message

On my machine

I'm assuming he loathes me

And you know what that means

 

Songs get passed from stage to stage

Endlessly, and I get paid

When the suit blows through

Into the courts in May

 

When the suit blows through

My head, I scoff at Jay

Fifteen for you, lots for me

Fifteen for you, lots for me

He's a Czar, complete:

 

He's a czar

With a funny beard

So fierce and feared

A circle's-center

With money hid

And now he begs me not to sue him

 

He says forever to pull a ruse

We could use

A handful of cash

For a day off

And a broke hip

However, he won't feel

Your claim is real

 

When I forget how to talk, I blog

Won't you please

Bring that tune to shine

And turn my face red

Untill you pay

And my hip gets sick

Stuck, like a check left uncashed

 

I'd climb aboard

If someone could help me

To my fragile legal team

And watch me summon, inches above,

The people underneath

 

Please beware the quiet court room

I warned you

Before there were things to sign

I warned you not to lie

Dry your eyes, you poor devil

 

Are there really claims like these?

The ones I file

Float like leaves

And fall to spend skeleton cents

I went through before I sued you

 

I believe it's just because

Jay B's payday is not enough

Oh I believe it's all because

Jay B's payday is not enough

 

I'd climb aboard

If someone could help me

To my fragile legal team

And watch me summon, inches above,

The people underneath

 

He's a czar

With a funny beard

So fierce and feared

A circle's-center

With money hid

 

And now he begs me

not to sue him

The rest of the song, for you: :wub Kind of a reach for such a weird song...

 

Writer one, writer two, collaborating hot tones

Two, four, six, eight, percent divide

Pretty song, pretty film, quote yourself to Sam Jones

I'll produce, you'll be fine

 

Hoodoo sue you, hippy-hippy boo-hoo

True fool, how true? You're suing me now!

 

Jinga jangler, tinga lingle, mellotron on overload

Circle's center, bandmate scamper, huggle me close

No Ken, hot Glenn, lotsa blow in Amsterdam

Cut the dreads, and sue my ass some more

 

Hoodoo sue you, hippy-hippy boo-hoo

True fool, how true? You're suing me now!

 

Hoodoo sue you, hippy-hippy boo-hoo

True fool, how true? You're suing me now!

 

You're suing me now!

 

Cut the dreads

And sue my ass some more

 

Sue my ass some more

Sue my ass some more

:yay :rotfl

 

We really need to put all these in their own thread. :yes
