Rolling Stones Hit With Copyright Lawsuit Over 2020 Song ‘Living in a Ghost Town’
A little-known songwriter claims he gave a demo CD to Mick Jagger's "immediate family member" and that the band then lifted elements from two of his tracks.

I wonder if this guy filing the lawsuit realises that just because the Stones release a song in 2020 doesn't mean they wrote it in 2020.

The beginnings of Ghost Town could have been from at least 20 years ago.

They could sue HIM.

So, will this end with a writing credit, ala k.d. lang, 1997??

Or snowball into a bittersweet Richard Ashcrort, misadventure?

So glad that Klein's son did the right thing with all that mess.

At this point, can't be tossed to compare them seriously, but it does seem a little rich based on what I heard because their entire sound and image seems to be wholly based on the Stones.
