OrtoPilot – Bittersweet Symphony
An evening pause: I wish he had used two cameras, just to give the visuals some variety, but the music overcomes the weak camerawork.
Hat tip Sayomara.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

The Tangled Copyright claims of “Bittersweet Symphony”
How Richard Ashcroft lost millions in royalties

Staple Singers ->cover traditional spiritual song “This May Be the Last Time.”
Rolling Stones-> Modify Staple Singers song and copyright “The Last Time.”
Andrew Oldman Orchestra->licenses orchestral version of “The Last Time” from Rolling Stones.
The Verve- samples the orchestral version; behind the scenes things go terribly wrong.
This is a great comment Wayne. If you read the comments for your video it sounds like in the end Verve did get the rights to there music back.
sayomara-
In the Espionage World everything is ultimately a Mole-hunt, in the Music Industry everything is about stealing royalties.
Allan Klein is one of the Usual Suspects in this. (Not as bad as Col Tom Parker & Elvis but still…)
He owned ABKCO records and controlled all Rolling Stone content & associated licenses created prior to 1971. He played total hardball with Ashcroft; first they added Jagger & Richards for a publishing credit and required a 50% royalty, when the song hit up he demanded 100% and stole everything.
Klein eventually dies and circa 2019 ABKCO, under the direction of his son, returned the copyright & royalties to Ashcroft.
