Music and UMG Records which claim that the artist has taken a portion of his sermon for the song. Moten is currently seeking damages from all four parties.

Pat Benatar Talks Rock Hall Induction: ‘So Intense’
The announcement about Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction was mere minutes old when the singer’s phone began “blowing up.” “This day is so intense,” Benatar tells Billboard by phone from Los Angeles. “Your phone blows up, Facebook, all your social media blows up. I had to turn my phone on silent ’cause I couldn’t hear one more dinging of the text.” Rest assured she’s not complaining, though.

Pearl Jam Mark Return to Road with Joyous Three-Hour Concert in San Diego: Recap + Setlist
“I’m not gonna talk this much at other shows, but this feels like home, and I missed ya,” Eddie Vedder told the San Diego crowd on Tuesday night. The first time I saw Pearl Jam, it was December 1991 and they were the relatively unknown openers for Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My friend had bought a Pearl Jam shirt before the concert (even though the “cool” thing was to get Nirvana merch), when suddenly a long-haired Vedder ran up from somewhere and thanked her. More than 30 years later, Vedder is still filled with this kind of enthusiastic gratitude. He showed plenty of tokens of it throughout Pearl Jam’s nearly three-hour set at Viejas Arena in the city he said “feels like home,” the place where he lived before moving to Seattle.

Tim Heidecker Unveils New Song “Punch in the Gut”: Stream
Tim Heidecker is back with “Punch in the Gut,” a new single from his forthcoming album, High School. Listen to the twangy track below. High School unsurprisingly chronicles the trials and tribulations of adolescence, and “Punch in the Gut” takes us back to the type of schoolyard fight scene you’d see in a network sitcom — with an unfortunate twist. “This one started while thinking about how Warren Zevon might approach a high school parking lot, high noon style showdown,” Heidecker explained in a statement. “But as I worked it, I recalled an incident where a friend of mine was visiting my school and was falsely accused of stealing. He was Black and it felt like profiling to me.” Heidecker describes the incident over chiming, back-and-forth guitars, singing about his friend’s doome...
