Isn't that when Jacko loses the rights his share of the Beatles' publishing catalog?

He bought them I thought, how can you "lose" something you bought?

Mac's always been saying he'd get them back someday without having to do anything. Maybe when one reaches a certain age.
Lennon's estate got his share back when Lennon was killed, IIRC.
I don't know, but it's on Paul's site today.

Commentary on Fox not necessary, and to my mind, a little offensive.

"The Beatles? I swear they were NOT a forgery!"

Let's hope this means that Beatles songs will appear on movie soundtracks...So someone might like the song and go, "Huh...The Beatles? I might have to look into them!" The only reason I'm saying this is because I have some close friends that have NEVER heard of a little jem called, "Nowhere Man"! And, this may sicken some of you, I have some other friends who have never heard "Yesterday". I know, I know.....Just let the tears flow!
Yes, I know that this might mean Beatle songs in advertisements(Everyone...just let go of your "Revolution+Nike hatred"). But if you listen, they are already there...only in cover versions. Yes, it pains me to hear the *********** version of "From Me To You" for a commercial that I forget what it's for. And it makes me laugh at the GE commercials that use a cover of "Getting Better. When I see their commercials with someone, I tell them, "Gee, I wonder WHY they left out the middle of that song???"(Die hard fans, ya feelin' me?). My point is that, maybe it could be a GOOD thing hearing the original in a commercial. Maybe it might turn some people on to our "Religion"! Look what Apple did for "Jet" with their IPod ads. That got me into Jet...And three yesrs later I bought an IPod....but that's a whole other issue. I really hope you all got my point...And will leave the rotten vegetables in the trash...To throw another time.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Brian. My 20 yo daughter asked for the No.1 album a while ago, and tells me her friends love it! As with commercials bringing newer ,younger generations into the realm of the Beatles music, i think the Smithereens release of 'Meet the Smithereens" could do the same!
Never heard "Yesterday"??????? ...as i dry my tears, .... Oh My God!!!!!

Just so we don't think it's only the younger who hasn't heard the Beatles, I'll tell you that until 5 years ago, my best friend (51 years old) -- a classical trombonist -- had never heard any of their albums. So I made her listen to Introducing the Beatles, Rubber Soul, Pepper and Let It Be. Her comment: "They sound like they were having fun!" Apparently she thought that if you are a professional musician, it is all a large PITA. And my wife, who will be 50, once asked me "Was Paul McCartney in another band once?" Argh.
