Sue You BluesBy The BookerThis is a fascinating read for the dedicated fan wanting to know more about the legalities that could come with being a rock star. Itrsquo;s not all creativity and fun. or as it has been so eloquently put to sell rockerrsquo;s bios: ldquo;Sex. drugs and rockrsquo;n roll.rdquo; In many cases. a strong legal team is needed to clean up messy situations involving greed. shared partnership credits. plagiarism. band membership and use of band names. and even the interpretation of lyrics and hidden song meanings.The author has done an impressive amount of research into rock star court cases. judgments. appeals and final verdicts. I enjoyed it. but will admit itrsquo;s not a book for everyone. The ldquo;sensationalismrdquo; element has been removed to reveal the hard facts argued by both sides for numerous cases in a court of law. Some carry a wide interest range for fans of classic rock. such as the break-up of The Beatles. George Harrisonrsquo;s fight over the composition of My Sweet Lord. the long-running battle of family heirs to claim the estate of Jimi Hendrix. and the accusations against Judas Priest in providing a soundtrack for promoted suicide. Some werenrsquo;t as newsworthy. like the fight over copyright of the mega-hit Whiter Shade Of Pale. but still interesting to follow to the bitter end.There are other cases that might only be informative to ldquo;deeprdquo; fans of rock. This is a reference to ldquo;deep cutsrdquo; on albums. In other words. a ldquo;deeprdquo; fan will know every track. while casual fans only know the hits. Some of the rock stars dragged into court were mainly stars in England and Europe and not as well known to music fans in the U.S. This may only be my problem. but I wasnrsquo;t as interested in reading about the artists I didnrsquo;t know.This is a very intelligent book written by a very knowledgeable author. For that reason it deserves five stars. But for casual rock fans more interested in sensationalism rather than the cold. hard facts. it would be difficult to hold their attention from cover to cover. For that reason. it scores a four rating. But I will say Irsquo;m a fan of this book. Nice job.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

"Pop Goes to Court: Rock n Pops Greatest Court Battles" analyzes the legal battles that have erupted in recent history as the drama of music spills over into the courts. both civil and criminal. From Judas Priest accused of inciting suicide. to the never ending battle for Jimi Hendrixs estate to the on and off again feud between the Beatles. "Pop Goes to Court" is an entertaining. informative. and at times depressing read of music and law. making for a choice pick for readers.
