I never rec'd a reply from my 10/20 post, so am trying again. I would like to use a short phrase (just six words!) from a popular 60s song on a t-shirt design to sell at a local community fair. Could you tell me if I need to get permission from the song author to use that phrase, even though it became fairly commonly used on its own? I would really, really, REALLY appreciate a response. Thank you for your service and for your sense of humor.
