Last line in the article says the financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

He’s 79; time to clear the decks for departure.

Yeah. That punk Zimmerman led too many impressionable young people down the wrong path. He's a worthless POS.

Not a big fan, I did like his Blood On The Tracks LP.

To each his own, I guess.

You’d better take your entire song catalog, you’d better sell it bob.

I recall reading somewhere that Willie Nelson sold the rights to “Nightlife” back when he was a young songwriter just starting to make it for a sum of money that allowed him to buy a second hand car or some other small thing. And the song, of course, has since been recorded by all sorts of famous names and Willie likely would have been that much wealthier from that song alone had he held onto to the rights to it that number of more years.

And what might that wrong path be?

[Jolla]

I saw an article mention $300million.

[Aevery_Freeman]

To me he is one of the greatest songwriters of all time and a true poet, YMMV!

[Aevery_Freeman]

Heh!

Clever.

[Sir_Humphrey]

Gee, I had no idea he was a “song” writer.

Willie was never very disciplined in managing his money.
