   Aside from the Zappanale festival, where there was kind of a legitimate   
   issue about their use of trademarked properties, I still don't actually   
   remember a specific instance of a band or specific performer being sued   
   by Gail or the Trust. I half-remember a couple Project/Object shows were   
   said to have been somehow halted by a call or a letter from Gail or   
   something, and I don't fully know or remember the veracity of those   
   things. In any event, I don't remember any specific lawsuit that ever   
   stopped a band from playing (P/O tours even now), but I'm receptive to   
   evidence to the contrary.   
      
   I hated that headline (from either Spin or Rolling Stone) that described   
   her as "famously litigious" in the article about the ZFT owning the   
   rights to Beefheart-related properties. I thought it was a little   
   unfair, but that's by now almost to be expected in terms of what people   
   say about her.
