Well.. we have gone and got ourselves in the sh**…
Somewhere in the Park Owners are being sued by Sony Music for disrespectful Beatles Tribute. This is what the article had to say… 🫠
In what legal experts are calling “the most absurd lawsuit since someone tried to copyright the moon,” the owners of acclaimed wine-and-beer haven Somewhere in the Park are reportedly being sued by Sony Music for “recklessly and irreverently recreating” the iconic Abbey Road album cover.
The image in question—posted after the venue’s opening —shows the venue’s co-owners strolling across a suburban zebra crossing with the same swagger as John, Paul, George, and Ringo back in 1969.
Witnesses at the shoot claimed the team blocked traffic for 14 full minutes while attempting to “nail the Lennon strut.”One driver, still emotionally recovering, was quoted saying: “I didn’t mind the delay. I just wish they’d committed more to the facial hair.”
Sony’s cease and desist letter reportedly refers to the image as “a flagrant and cheeky nod to one of music’s most sacred artifacts” and accuses the group of “visual plagiarism with a side of good lighting.”
According to an anonymous insider (who may or may not be the bartender), Sony’s lawyers are demanding the image be taken down, a formal apology be issued to Ringo Starr, and that Somewhere in the Park sends over two cases of Barolo “as a goodwill gesture.”
One of the owners, when asked for comment, simply replied: “We thought it would be funny. Also, none of us can play instruments.”
At press time, Paul McCartney had yet to respond, but sources suggest he would “probably be into it.”
