I don't consider myself a very original thinker. That's why I'm pretty proud of the scribbles on this blog. Pretty much everything that isn't credited or obviously ripped off is my own ranting & raving.
You should easily notice when I quote someone else. Most times I directly cite the author and/or provide a link to the original work. Other times, I'll sign the quote as the artist (ie. "Pete" for Pete Townshend or "Bruce" for Bruce Springsteen, etc).
In a few cases, I have quoted without citation. That's due to my perception that my audience is small (to be sure, counted on one hand) and solid belief you know where my material comes from.
It won't happen again.
"Why," you ask? Here's all the reason anyone needs.

I always thought Coldplay sucked until I heard this song. Figures, the only thing I've ever liked from them was TOTALLY ripped off. Always go with your first impression,I knew these guys were posers. I feel so used....
Who gives a fuck? Pop music is built on plagiarism, and Joe Satriani sucks anyway. Coldplay has made a career out of being, essentially, a U2 tribute band, but a pretty good one, so, as Brigitte Bardot (or someone like her) said, "c'est la vie...que sera, sera."
I don't speak French but if Dr B says copying is OK, who am I to argue? He is a Dr. after all. So I guess he won't mind when I steal his thesis and turn it into a Porno Slasher film Vegas style. Everything's derivative these days anyhow, right?
Be my guest...it wouldn't be that much of a stretch anyway.
Maybe I'll use Frupp and his alter ego The Gov as the main players. That hair screams porno....
