"I'm a broke man" (Tune: "Taxman" by the Beatles) MIDI HERE
I'll tell you 'bout my deal with Sony (broke, man)
It's the best thing in the world for me, (broke, man)
'cause I'm a broke man
Yeah, I'm real broke, man.
More to come...
thats a bit understated
I hope the four Beatles estate's get the rights to these songs again. If these songs are worth $1 billion a year, and McCartney is estimated to still make more than most entertainers make a year he most have done something right when he & John made these songs. I guarantee they will not be forgetten in 20 years.
"The performer, whose star has fallen in recent years..."
Yeah, if you consider the last 20 years "recent"!
In a world with sane copyright law, the value of this catalog would be approximately $0.00.
I guess the "pimps of little boys" need to keep getting paid off to keep quiet.
Can someone please explain to me how Michael Jackson ended up owning the Beatles' song catalogue?
When you're talking about that kind of money, it's the other way around to some extent. As the saying goes, "if you owe $100,000, the bank owns you. If you owe $100,000,000, you own the bank." Put another way, Michael Jackson wouldn't have been able to drag this out for years and years if it had just been a $250,000 mortgage.
well yes, but he bought those songs really cheap.
Time for Michael to go the Elvis route and do live shows in Vegas.
