Luther Campbell was sued by the estate of Roy Orbison over his use of the
song "Pretty Woman."  No doubt the estate of Roy Orbison can sue whomever
they want over the use of "Pretty Woman," but after selling the song and
its title to Disney for that execrable bit of mysogyny, they look pretty
silly singling out a nonentity like Luther Campbell for legal action.
