Re: [Harp-L] FW: Cadillac Records - Little Walter - Defamation

["Rob Paparozzi" <Chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I'm from New Jersey, so if I croak and they portray me as a Muderer in 
any Films.... I'll expect my family to file suit.......thanx for the tip 
I'll inform my family!

I still say if they had any respect for the musicians... they should have 
portrayed him as you say
'a hot tempered dude'....not a murderer....heck people in this world file 
law suits for a whole LOT less than this........laws are made to changed....
best,
rob
