"I don't see anything wrong with the play. It's a form of expression," said David Olsen (senior-geography), a Radiohead fan. "But the band deserves credit for what they did."

According to Magnet Magazine's World Wide Web site (www.magnetmagazine.com), the band had nothing to do with the play and a spokesperson for Radiohead said the play's creators never asked permission to use the band's lyrics.

The spokesperson also said the band did not want to force the play to close, because all proceeds of the performances were donated to charity.

However, "they were upset that no attempt had been made to ask for or obtain permission from themselves or their publisher, the spokesperson said.

"Something that would have been at least courteous."

According to the Billboard daily music update (www.billboard.com/daily), the play's protagonist, Thom, enjoys driving alone on country roads at night, hoping to be abducted by aliens.

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.

Thom gets in a car accident and suffers from near-fatal injuries. When he ends up in a coma, he has to decide whether to return to his body.

The play's scriptwriter, Dean Testerman, said he wanted to honor Yorke.

"It's like when someone adapts Shakespeare," he said. "This is an homage to Thom's genius."

Eric Beaver (sophomore-mechanical engineering), another Radiohead fan, supported the band's decision.

"I think that using someone else's creativity is subject to their permission," Beaver said. "If Thom Yorke says, 'You can't use my material,' then that's up to him."

It's the best thing that you ever had.

Patrick Burkholder (junior-English) said the play is a rip-off.

"I don't like the fact that they can't make up their own stupid play," he said.

Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird.
