We spent all of last year slinging mud at each other in the press, yet we're still roughly where we were in terms of polling. It says something: we're not afraid of airing our dirty laundry. Everyone had beef in the Te Pāti Māori feud, yet we're still working together.

One of my fantasies is to publish a red leather-bound book of my best melodies. Divorced from their lyrics or context: just the tunes. It could be a bit of a Rosetta stone, written in several different staves.

Iwi whakapapa books. Unlike the Native Americans, we know which people trace descent. The family history department at the National Library dug into my family history as a result of my rendition of Puhihuia. I said it was a song that an ancestor had written. They figured out that I was descended from Tupaia, and shit got crazy. Several months of theory essays and rewriting colonial history. - How do I know I'm Samoan? It was a family secret. My Uncle John told me recentl

Don said it was my Dad who saw it on TV while he was on his OE in Spain. The rock people usually tell me the origins after I've done the cover version. There weren't any chords available, so I made up my own (F minor).

Age ratings are stupid. Parents can make their own decision about whether films that AMPP is producing or promoting are suitable for their children. Swears shouldn't be censored. We prefer a natural sound, and people swear. Fair use covers educational use, and does include profit-based use in NZ law. The party doesn't make any money. Recommending films isn't my business. The Dakumentary demonstrates how fair use can illustrate history. Imagine Multimedia isn't a cash factory.

I've written a bunch of cease and desists before; here's another one. There is no way to persuade me to be Paul McCartney in a movie. Stop asking. If your film has significant rights issues and dead cast members, then it's over. As the industry has discovered, I don't live in LA. I've taken your threats to the police. My fair use of your copyrighted materials for research and communication is sensible, and I haven't been extradited to the US to face charges, so it's probab

No. Sorry. Unruly Tourists ripped me off, so that's not going to happen. I'm writing my first stage piece, and it's The Perfumed Garden. - That pisses off Disney and Mr. Mackintosh, but that's what I'm doing. There's no proof people would go to it; they think my old shows are winners. If people wonder why new musicals are impossible to stage, that's the reason.

Yes, I know I'm being a pain right now, but I bought a lifetime subscription. There's no renegging on that deal, though I see there's a legacy sign-in. Re: my Weeded Out script. That's the top issue: I need a clean video like my demo. I'm unable to produce one thanks to the hackers. That'll be part of my injunction. That's a tool to add for instances of alleged collaboration. Disney picked the wrong people to mess with. Thanks for the tech support. - Update: Paul's lawye

They were fascinated by the cover, but the hidden message was to do a gig. All the London promoters thought they could make a mint from Beatles performances. The guys were sick of the anti-Apple Corps attitude and didn't want to. The band broke up before the guys did a gig for a promoter in London.

I read a book on tap dancing, and it said Astaire incorporated mistakes into his routines. That's what I aim to do. From a mainstream pop angle, they're demos, but they're improvised part by part. The song is challenging Taylor to improvise and put real jazz into her Baby Face score. She's too whakamā to write 'black' music atm. Tell Me, Dear was inspired by Conversations With Myself and Get Back (the doco). It's the same ethos that underpins my physical comedy.

Paul's healing well from his concussion, so now we've got a fuller picture. Ringo and Adam Guettel went there to talk to Sam Mendes and Mr. Mescal. It didn't go well, and that's when they pulled a gun on Ringo. There was somebody else in the room, so Ringo ended up maiming two of them. They later died of the injuries + police gunfire, but Sam ran away. - At this point, James McCartney slit Michelle's wrists in the other room. Paul had been partially untied, but was still

Yes. It was her choice to share it with her friends. It's the world we live in: people want to know about my dick and my small tits. There's been no need to apologise. She would've bloody forced me or pressed charges. If we were a regular couple, this wouldn't be news.

My point still stands. Taylor isn't into sex, so it's probably unconsummated. We're all alleging that she's been coerced. That makes annulment possible. It's literally just a ploy to steal Taylor's wealth. Not saying he's a pod, just a sap. Everyone wants her money. Sir Paul's busy with his own problems, but our goal is to protect her fortune. - As for the cartoons: stop harassing me, then I'll stop satirising you. Mr. D'Amaro needs to learn some respect for creatives: y

Jermaine Jackson said that Sondheim was friends with Langston Hughes. Much like Charles Strouse, Steve was involved with civil rights and black culture.

Here's the blunt truth: Travis could marry one of her clones (lookalikes). Who would know? If they marry at some giant stadium, all the fans are hundreds of metres away. All the celebrants would be in on the scam. In the modern day, forging a signature is incredibly easy. Taylor made a mistake by allowing lookalikes. It enables this type of bullshit. Michael Jackson wasn't imitable in the same way, and avoided any shotgun weddings. - I'd also add that we've still got a l

No. Both at Burnside and at NZSM, the real singers listened and said that I wasn't. You can't hear like I can. The main difference is that I'm a jazz singer. I bend notes, I use glissando. I use my voice as an instrument, not just a valved one. Think Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney... Ears are often prejudiced, including mine. You hear what you want to hear. I'd travelled farther and wider than almost all of you: I've heard more. Michael was the same. He'd been everywhe

Jermaine's hoping I'll write Michael, part 2 with him. Anyway, a default judgment is when somebody doesn't turn up to a hearing. Regarding his sexual assault case, that means he didn't want to deal with it. He'd rather lose $7 million USD than listen to someone say he raped them. That's the kind of wealth that the Jackson clan has. Anyway, he says that Michael only said how to masturbate, but didn't touch kids. Much like me, Michael was a bit allergic to touch.

That's what my brother and I really were.
