		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I&#039;m taking this all too seriously, but I just wish everyone would stop with the acccusations...against Kellie, against Kevin and whomever.

Song similarities do not necessarily mean plagarism,.. influence and/or co-incidence are just as likely (if not more so) explanations for such similarites... 

Now I realize Kevin was not actually making a formal &quot;charge&quot; of plagarism against KP, but even a lighthearted suggestion of rip-off deserves more evidence than side by side videos for comparison. But it was certainly not a &quot;lie&quot;..an unfair or innacurate allegation perhaps, but not a lie.

As I recall, John Fogerty actually went to court with a very technical defense to prove he didn&#039;t plagarize HIMSELF, this is how ridiculous this rocky road can get. Charges of plagarism, even lighthearted ones, should not be made lightly. ;) 

Also, I thought it very unfair when someone else made an accusation of plagarism against Taylor Swift on another thread, and made it with very little evidence. But this accusation went unchallenged on that thread. Hopefully it was because no one wanted to dignify the ridiculous accusations with a response.

Doesn&#039;t our system of justice, (or at the very least our culture of fair play,) put the burden of proof on the accuser to provide evidence of guilt, as opposed to the defendant or the accused to provide evidence of innocence? That seems to be getting lost here. 

And regarding &quot;Kevin&#039;s Mom&quot;...seems I&#039;ve heard her using that opening line before..a running gag perhaps? I&#039;m starting to think she may be a recurring character in this Country Universe drama... ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Last Word,

If you can prove anything Kevin said in the post false, by all means, present your evidence. But anyone here is fully entitled to &lt;i&gt;speculate&lt;/i&gt; that the song is a rip-off. Little thing called the First Amendment, maybe you&#039;ve heard of it.

And your board sounds fascist. Congrats.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan Milliken: 

Making false accusations, whick Kevin is doing here, is as classless as it gets. 

As someone who monitors message boards, I will tell you that most boards ban people that post lies.

I truly believe in taking out the trash, so that&#039;s always been my policy as well.

Kevin would be banned on my board, and you likely wouldn&#039;t last long either because I&#039;m not fond of toadies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t hear any rip off. It&#039;s called musical influences. Might as well stop writing love and cheating songs too since there are so many huh?

Kellie&#039;s song is the best though the recorded song isn&#039;t as strong as the live version. Might be the producer&#039;s doing. She sounds better live on most of the songs, no protools messing with her flawless vocals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a blatant rip-off of Dolly&#039;s song, though she&#039;s clearly mimicking Womack&#039;s vocal style.  It pales in comparison to either song, but Dolly&#039;s is my favorite of the three.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dan, I don&#039;t understand why I don&#039;t like her music much.  She&#039;s one of those artists that I want to like, but just end up finding boring.  It&#039;s not her voice; I like her voice.  So, I guess it just leaves the songs, huh?  I&#039;m fascinated by it myself.]]></description>
