If and when the current Jackson tour ends, Marlon Jackson has offers to play the lead in two different films. Universal Pictures’ The Cat is pretty much set, and a second project is currently in potential-director Richard Pryor’s lap, so to speak. Sez Marlon,-‘Film is in my future, but music is in my blood. I cut myself and musical notes jump out.” We’d like to see that up close sometime, amigo!
Perverted? That’s what the Stray Cats are, at least, according to Federal District Judge Pamela Meyer. The case involved some new lyrics the Cats added to Eddie Cochran’s classic rocker, “Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie.” Judge Meyer pointed out that the group changed 85 of 191 words in the song, replacing them with “booze and sex” references that “perverted the moral concept” of the tune, Cochran, of course, has been dead for well over two decades, so he won’t see much of the settlement. Copyright owners House Of Fortune Music will be the ones awarded a percentage of the take for the EMI album the song appears on, which grossed $8,646,742.
