I had a feeling they've probably changed their minds since 1996. Good to know!

Re: Original Artists' Response
Jim Peterik (writer of Eye of the Tiger) talks about Theme from Rocky XIII. (Maybe NSFW language; there's a lot of comments and I haven't read them all.)

Awesome. It's like Al has said, Michael Jackson granting permission for "Eat It" really opened up a lot of doors. You have to wonder if Al would have been nearly as successful if that hadn't happened.

Re: Original Artists' Response
After all of the comments like Jim Peterik's, you hardly even have to wonder. He would have been the novelty act everyone expected him to be.

Re: Original Artists' Response
At this point, Coolio is without question the artist who has commented publicly on Al's parody more than any of the other targets.

Re: Original Artists' Response
Seriously, it seems like every time we think the whole Al-Coolio feud will fade into oblivion, Coolio brings it up again. At least he admitted he made a mistake.
