Just imagine how Darius Rucker must feel. The Hootie and the Blowfish frontman was sued by Bob Dylan years ago over lyrics from Dylan's song "Idiot Wind" that were interpolated into the Hootie hit "Only Wanna Be With You." Now, it's Dylan who's facing charges of taking credit for words that weren't his.

Slate's Andrea Pitzer has identified some striking similarities between Dylan's taped Nobel Lecture in Literature and a SparkNotes page for Moby Dick, one of the three books Dylan discusses at length in the speech. The smoking gun, for Pitzer, is a phrase that Dylan attributes to author Herman Melville, but actually comes from the SparkNotes discussion of the novel.

Dylan hasn't yet responded to Pitzer's request for comment. (Slate, via MPR News)

PWR BTTM return

After being dropped by Father/Daughter Records, the album's original record label, PWR BTTM have re-released their debut album Ugly Cherries (2015). They're still in negotiations with a different label, Polyvinyl, to regain control of their most recent album Pageant (2017). Polyvinyl originally issued that album, then pulled it after band member Ben Hopkins was accused of sexual misconduct.

The band are now working with manager Lisa Barbaris, who also manages Cyndi Lauper. "To see Polyvinyl derail and potentially destroy the band's career in such an impulsive manner is very troubling," says Barbaris, who admits she wasn't even familiar with PWR BTTM before the controversy. "I've never seen a label respond in such an irresponsible way in the 30-plus years I've been in the music business." (Billboard)
