You May Think the Chords Are Going Wrong

Oh, uh, gee, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah...

fuck.

"It's something we've waited for for seven seasons now. Sony has agreed to release the Lennon and McCartney songbook to us," producer Nigel Lythgoe told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

I don't get it. They're rightfully so protective of the Beatles catalog that you never hear the originals in commercials and rarely in movies. Hell, they're not even digital yet. But Sony is willing to whore the songs out to a shitty reality show with a pitiful track record of producing, er, idols? Does not compute.

I sense I'm overreacting.
