Eddie Van Halen Marries and Sues Nike ! ! ! - LULU - 7-:01 -0-09-20

X-No-Archive: yes


Guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen is no longer a solo: Saturday night he
married Janie Liszewski, his girlfriend of three years. Eddie was
wearing flip-flops during the ceremony. In related (or not) news, Van
Halen (the band), are suing Nike over an alleged design similarity
between Eddie Van Halen's iconic "Frankenstein" guitar and a new line
of the sportswear company's sneakers. Come on Eddie . . . it's just a
bunch of criss-crossed lines . . . any stoned teenager with some
masking tape and spray paint can pull off that "design." Maybe Ed
needs a little extra cash to take his new bride on a honeymoon? Good
Luck on both fronts Eddie!

Maybe EVH can have his merchandise made by 10 year-old kids earning 50p
a day.

More like he needs more money to stock up on fags and booze.

Any number of abstract artists from the 20's - 50's could sue Eddie
for ripping THEM off.

BTW, I wonder if Dutch artist Piet Mondrian ever sued the Partridge
Family? Compare these:

The Mondrian estate would probably have a better case than Eddie. I
wonder how much cash is in the Partridge Family account these days?
If you're wanting a piece of Danny Bonaduce's "fortune," I'm guessing
that there's a pretty long waiting line.

Certainly incriminating .. but Someone, Somewhere, SomePlace,
had to criss-cross color lines in some form of art before 1939 ....
don't you think ?

Besides, Nike has more lawyers and money then EV does,
so it's a moot point .. and it's always the lawyers
who make out like a bandit on this crap .
