Liner Notes
This is one for the Broadcast Law class. Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for copyright infringement. Satriani says that it was his fans that pointed out the similarities between his 2004 “If I Could Fly” and the title track of Coldplay’s new album “Viva La Vida”, by committing copyright infringement by sending him mp3s of the song. The guitar soloist tells Rolling-Stone-dot-com that his song was a 10 year work in progress and was originally written as a love letter to his wife. He is seeking any and all profits that the song has earned.
This Day In History
It was on this day in 1985 that Phoenix, Arizona got three inches of snow, shutting down the city. Here on this date, after more than three inches of snow here in the Twin Cities, we’re still laughing at the people of Phoenix.
Moron This!
We start today in Fredericksburg, Virginia where two Patriot Towing employees face child endangerment charges after towing a car with a child inside. Police say that Jason Bryant and Derek Miller towed the double parked Mazda Protege outside of a housing complex. When the pair realized their mistake, they promply returned the two-year old girl to her mother. According to the police, the mother left the car unlocked, running, and unattended for at least five minutes. By the way, no charges have been filed against the mother.
Real Life X File
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has seen a huge increase in U-F-O activity. In the first week of December, there have been more than 20 reports of sightings to multiple agencies. The Keystone state has been the center of many sightings over the past 43 years, since a supposed U-F-O crash in Kecksburgh in 1965.
Here are the highlights and soundtrack for today’s World Famous in Minnesota Show.

Moron This!
An academic advisor from THE Ohio State University has been arrested in connection to selling raffle tickets to win an evening with a prostitute. According to the Associated Press, Christopher Johnson was arrested for organizing a lottery on Craigs-list-dot-com with help from real estate agent Rusty Blades (his real name, by the way). Columbus Police have identified the grand prize as 31 year old Vanise Dunn. Dunn, who was arrested on November 12th for solicitation, has been employed by the Franklin County Children’s Services for the past eight years. Johnson and Blades have both been charged with promoting prostitution, and bail has been set at 25-thousand dollars for Johnson.
Today in History
It was on this date in 1914 that actor Ray Walston was born in Laurel, Mississippi. He is mostly known for the starring role in the television show, “My Favorite Martian”. He would later take the role of Mister Hand in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, becoming my teaching role model.
Real Life X-Files
It’s already started for Barack Obama. The Extraterrestrial Phenomenon Political Action, or EPPA, have sent the President –Elect a letter urging him to investigate U-F-O activity by debriefing military and intelligence agencies and to take witness statements under oath. EPPA thinks that the odds of ending what they call “the six decade truth embargo” are good as the head of Obama’s transition team John Podesta and possible cabinet member New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson are “U-F-O truth allies”. When Podesta was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, he led a project to declassify documents older than 25 years to aid scientists in the study of U-F-Os. Richardson is expected to serve on Obama’s cabinet, and is a Governor of the state that’s the home of the Roswell Incident. During a primary debate, Richardson revealed that he believed that there has been a government cover-up the famed 1947 event, and has called for the Pentagon to fully disclose the details.It was on this date in 1914 that actor Ray Walston was born in Laurel, Mississippi.
