Thanks Hilary! You've really got to laugh - it's all so cheesy! Justin obviously had a big hand in writing it judging from his diary entries etc. BUT will it sell the CD??? I'm not at all convinced. I suppose they know there's a ready made fan base out here and that we'll all buy copies and that's about it and they're not aiming to sell to the public as a whole. Or do they think that by mentioning their real names it will put people off ? Or don't they care at all - it's all just for a laugh? Interesting......

That's something, I suppose. ;-) Alison, you could tell Justin that he may as well register to this list and send it personally. I mean, if I was in a band and there'd be a fan-based mailing-list, I sure as hell would read every bit of junk that's said about me or my band ... Dirk ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 09:29:31 EST From: SngWrite1@aol.com Subject: OV: to Justin Dear Mr. Currie, I think you would be well served to look into some well known court cases of "vocal copycats" (best example being Tom Waits vs. Frito Lays Corp.) as these rapscallions in the Uncle Devil Show have obviously sought to mimic your voice and delivery without your consent or just compensation. I'm sure that after you listen to those clips of "Bimbo In The Limo" and "She Cuts Her Own Fringe" at http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/uncle_devil/terrible_beauty.htm and you will see you have a strong case. Best to wait until their "Terrible Beauty" album (well, they got the first half correct) is released on April 19th, to better gauge the amount of pain and suffering this causes you and your family (and therefore the amount of compensatory damages you will seek). I also suggest you contact your friend Kevin McDermott to show that his reputation is also being sullied by these greasy leather-clad hooligans, as noted on the tracks "Sidelong Glances of a Pidgeon Kicker" and "Angie Baby". It is shamelessly unoriginal hacks like these Uncle Devil Show people that give the music business a bad name. Sincerely, David B. Sills, Esq. Dewey, Cheatam, & Howe ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 08:39:00 -0600 From: "Scott Smith" Subject: OV: Re: to Justin I wholeheartedly agree with Esquire Sills appraisal of the situation. However, I think it best to try a different approach: Gather the band together in a studio and record another Dels album to show these ... how was it phrased..."desperate self-promoting talentless limpnecked whimsy-peddaling bedwetters" how to properly pull it off. ;) - -Milwaukee Scott ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 09:46:50 -0500 From: "B M" Subject: re: OV: from Justin Who says he isn't....
