blurred lines
01AUG26
without the lawsuit
out in the pines
the wind stirred
some of the lines
they got blurred
thru he strode
& walked away
nothing was owed
to Marvin Gaye
discern was employed
knew what he was doing
his way to avoid
all of the suing
as always he refused
any type of revealing
didn't want to be accused
of any kind of stealing
Enjoy your Saturday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.
This poem will probably need some explaining. In 2018 there was a settlement of a lawsuit between Marvin Gaye’s family and Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams over the song “Blurred Lines.” Gaye’s family had contended that the two had borrowed too heavily from Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got to Give It Up.” The jury ruled in favor of the Gaye family.
