CC2 unit 4; Q. # 3

Hi All,
Pearl Harbor Day! Hello WW2...
This is a weird morning in Havasu indeed. We are supposed to be getting a ton of rain. I do not know if you guys watch the Weather Chanel, but the whole South West coast is getting wet. That is common in So. Cal., but it rarely makes its way to my little world. If I can explain, Lake Havasu is the little indent on the left side of the AZ map. If you look at an AZ map, just about smack in the middle, left side, is an indent; that is Havasu. We are surrounded by mountains, and that is why we never get much weather here. It just kind of goes around us.
On to school now. When I read this question the very first thing that came to my mind was when the band Coldplay was accused of copyright infringements (plagiarism) of a Joe Satriani song he had written. I read a little bit about it, and Satriani is suing Coldplay for this. It is, as far as I can tell, still in the court system. I have heard both bands, and I think I would have to agree with Satriani. Especially because the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin, actually said:
" We're definitely good, but I don't think you can say we're that original. I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists" (Permalink, nd). The problem that this is causing is a "prove it" issue; there are only so many cords on a guitar. It is the who says I did not write this sort of argument. I bet if you hear the two you would agree with me; however, it will now be up to the courts.
Thank you,
Lara
