Paul McCartney Jr would definitely win a blink from me.

Too Many Paul McCartneys?

A real Paul McCartney Jr would be hell. I inadvertantly saw Sean Lennon once. Shit.

That's why the inestimable Scott would be a hero to jump in and fill that dangerous gap before someone more pernicious does.

PANASONIC was sued and now they are called just PAN SONIC.
i know an argentinean band that was called Polaroid and sued too.

Yeah, don't even think about estimating me, motherfuckers.

I can't decide what's gonna be on the b-side of my first 7"...

"Hey Doude" or "Stawberry Fields For Several Hours".

I know the a-side is gonna be "HLP!"

No, but you might end up being shafted by The Heather Mills-McCartney Experience.

Beatallica already has a song called "Hey Dude." Yes, i know the spelling is different.

I think you can away with The New Paul McCartneys.

Better thing to do (imo) is name your band Foghat. When you get sued you could use the defense, "well, they weren't using it." Then change your name after all the free publicity.
