DON SUE ME !

Don Henley has filed a lawsuit against the clothing maker Duluth Trading Co., claiming that the company infringed on his trademark in an email ad for its Henley T-shirt, by including the pun, "Don a Henley and Take It Easy." The suit alleges that the line references not only the Eagles singer and drummer's name but also the title of the group's breakthrough single, "Take It Easy," which, incidentally, was sung by Glenn Frey and written by Frey and Jackson Browne.The company did not seek a license to use Henley's name, according to the suit (via The Hollywood Reporter), and the suit underscore the fact that Henley has enforced his rights to his name, trademarks and other intellectual property over the years. The singer-songwriter wants the company to stop using his name and is seeking "damages and other appropriate relief."
