Posted in: , ,

Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” has been proved to be a rip-off of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” released to great acclaim back in 1989. The British singer basically acknowledged this when he agreed an out of court settlement a few days ago to pay royalties to Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne for writing credit on Stay With Me. Tom Petty says of the agreement by both musicians to settle out of court;

"About the Sam Smith thing. Let me say I have never had any hard feelings toward Sam.  All my years of songwriting have shown me these things can happen.  Most times you catch it before it gets out the studio door but in this case it got by.  Sam’s people were very understanding of our predicament and we easily came to an agreement.

Funny Video - Truck Carrying Heavy Load Topples Over

Posted in: ,

This is probably the funniest video you'll watch today. A lorry carrying more bags of grain than it should loses its center of gravity as it drives down a sloping road. The people in the car behind had their entertainment of the day by getting it all on camera as the truck battled gravity and lost, falling flat on its side. Watch closely to see a guy on top of the bags saving himself by jumping off at the last moment, LOL...
