Record label sues Behr Paint over use of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black’

November 13, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Rolling Stones’ iconic tune “Paint It Black” is the subject of a new lawsuit filed against Behr Paint.

ABCKO Music & Records, owner of The Stones’ early master recordings, is suing the paint company for copyright infringement for using the 1966 chart-topper in an advertisement for its paint products that appeared on social media.

The suit notes that Behr didn’t pay ABCKO to use the song, while most third parties “pay significant fees,” which they say range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to license such ABKCO recordings for ads.

According to the suit, the “commercial use of the ABKCO Recording has forced a business association upon ABKCO that has harmed its ability to license the ABKCO Recording to Behr’s competitors that would pay for the use” of the song.

ABKCO is claiming it “suffered significant damages” thanks to the unauthorized use of “Paint it Black,” adding Behr’s “acts of infringement have been willful, in reckless disregard of and with indifference to” ABKCO’s rights.

ABKCO is seeking actual damages, to be proven at trial, recovery of any profits Behr made off the use of the song, plus statutory damages and lawyers’ fees.

Pete Townshend is open to using AI for his unfinished music

November 13, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Who‘s Pete Townshend has revealed that he’s got lots of unfinished music in his vaults, but he’s not so sure whether fans will ever get to hear it.

Townshend appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday, where he talked about his unfinished works, revealing he has “350, 450 pieces of music.”

“Now, a lot of it is probably terrible,” he said. “I’ve managed to wade through about half of it,” adding, “I don’t know what to do with it.”

He said he’s “quite interested in AI” and he’d be open to using the AI platform Suno or some other platform on “old songs that didn’t quite work because I didn’t get them right [the] first time round.” He explained he’d like to see “what it can make of it. It might be some hits.”

During the episode, Townshend also sat in with The Late Show band, and discussed his Quadrophenia ballet, which opens in New York on Friday, and The Who farewell tour, which wrapped in North America in October.

He insisted the farewell is “genuine,” but joked, “We’re gonna end it after we’ve done as many shows as Elton John,” which got some laughs. “He did 330, we’ve done 22, so we just have another 308 to do. And then we’ll be gone for good.”

While Townshend said he doesn’t usually enjoy touring, he did this time around.

“I decided I was going to try to make Roger [Daltrey] happy, which isn’t easy,” he said, noting singing takes a lot out of Roger. “I thought, you know, I must forget about myself and just do this for him. It could be the last thing we ever do together. And it worked.”

New Kids member Donnie Wahlberg said in a statement, “What we’ve built here in Vegas, together with our incredible [fans, the] Blockheads, feels truly magical. The energy in that room each night — the lights, the lasers, flying up to the balcony to see all our blockheads dancing and singing along — is so far beyond anything we’ve ever done before.”

He added, “Vegas has been so welcoming to us, we couldn’t leave just yet! We are having the absolute best time and are so excited and honored to be asked to extend our stay here.”

Lady Gaga covers Rolling Stone, reveals motherhood is what she wants ‘the most’

November 13, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lady Gaga is having a good week: On Nov. 7 she was nominated for seven Grammys, and now she’s landed on the cover of Rolling Stone for the fourth time in her career. In the cover story, Gaga discusses her Mayhem album and tour, her relationship with fiancé Michael Polansky and more.

According to Rolling Stone, Gaga and Polansky, who got engaged in 2024, plan on “getting married soon, either during the tour or just after.” Polansky tells the publication, “We have these breaks, and they’re tempting. It’s like, ‘OK, can we get married that weekend?’ We don’t want a really big wedding, but we want to enjoy it. In a lot of ways, we already feel married, so it’s not like it’s gonna change much.”

And after marriage will come children. “Being a mom is the thing I want the most,” Gaga says. “And [Michael is] gonna be a beautiful father. We’re really excited about that.”

But being happy and in love — what she describes as a “healthy, whole person” — has been a long journey for Gaga. “I did A Star Is Born on lithium,” she shares, adding that after shooting that film, she had what she calls “a psychotic break.”

“I couldn’t do anything … I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn’t think I could get better.… I feel really lucky to be alive. I know that might sound dramatic, but we know how this can go.”

While making Mayhem, she notes, “It was months and months and months of rediscovering everything that I’d lost. And I honestly think that’s why it’s called Mayhem. Because what it took to get it back was crazy.”

She adds, “Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference.”
