One to Grow On
we're running out of riffs!!!

This USA Today community chat from April raises an interesting point...

Netcong NJ: Does the new Fleetwood Mac song sound more like "Momma told me not to come" or "Kodachrome"? Who will sue them first? Just wondering...

Edna Gundersen: Ha, very amusing. At this point, almost every new pop song sounds suspiciously like five others that came before. Perhaps we're running out of riffs and notes and melodies, or maybe artists are subconsciously recycling all their influences. Peacemaker is a fine song, in my opinion, and I don't think it bears enough resemblance to Kodachrome or Mama Told Me Not to Come to warrant lawsuits, but legal action doesn't require much in the way of evidence.
