Follow-ups/CorrectionsMushroomhead - Jeffrey Hatrix is at it again. This time he is suing former bandmate, Steve “Skinny” Felton over unpaid royalties. It seems that Skinny has been pulling royalties shenanigans for sometime, adding himself multiple times on the copyright registrations to get higher and higher royalties percentages, and now the lawsuit is inferring that he is the ONLY one receiving Mechanical Royalties at all, for at least a large chunk of the MRH catalog. Nothing was paid a $1200 stipend per week while performing, and little else, the suit goes on to claim, and now he is seeking his fair cut.https://blabbermouth.net/news/founding-mushroomhead-singer-jeffrey-hatrix-sues-steve-skinny-felton-over-unpaid-royalties

SuggestsSteel Beach - a sharp and satirical science fiction novel set in a futuristic lunar society where humanity, having been driven off Earth, now lives under the care of a benevolent AI that meets all their needs. The story follows Hildy Johnson, a disillusioned journalist grappling with an existential crisis in a world that has seemingly solved all of humanity’s problems but left its people struggling to find meaning. The novel explores themes of identity, freedom, and the human condition, questioning whether a utopia governed by technology can truly satisfy the complexities of human desires. With its vivid world-building and dark humor, Steel Beach is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in a post-scarcity society.
