[a fool in paradise]

I’m SHOCKED at such corruption in the music industry...

Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.

This fall Wenner is planning to host a blow out all-star concert at Madison Square Garden with his cronies... ABKCO Music has bought a few tables to celebrate the overdue induction of R&B great Bobby Womack. But the other inductees don't have labels per se -- like Little Anthony & the Imperials, Jeff Beck, Run-DMC, Wanda Jackson, and the Elvis Presley sidemen... the group has $14 million in net assets or fund balances, and $23 million invested in publicly traded securities. But they gave only $25,000 to charity, and it wasn't even to a music charity. The money went to Caroline Kennedy's Fund for Public Schools, where Wenner is a board member...

Jan Wenner? He has nothing to do with either rock and roll (yeah, publisher of the Rolling Stone, blah blah blah) or education, and is a waste of human skin.

Once again, I find myself amazed of how much chaff gets inducted while the wheat remains, uh, not. It's ridiculous that Jeff Beck, Run-DMC, and Metallica are all mentioned together anyway. /flames
