kids these days don't listen to classical music, anyway

Renée realized today that the melody in Santana's "Love of my Life" (off Supernatural) is lifted, note for note, from Brahms's Third Symphony's third movement. She played for us the Brahms, and then the Santana, and she's right... not only has Santana lowered himself to selling ladies' shoes and releasing crap featuring the flavor of the month on vocals, but he's also a plagiarist. Sad.

Re: satana and brahms

You're gonna have to work harder than that... but it's a start.

I like that Santana thinks (incorrectly) that it's Concerto #2. Also, comparing Maná to The Police is deranged... comparing them to No Doubt or Incubus, that's probably closer.
