... and I don't mean he found his way upstairs again.

Still haven't picked up my copy of The Fireman, sorry, Pauly. You know how it is ...

Crazy that a guy like Mick Jagger is only worth 190 Million pounds. I know it sounds like a lot, but a 45+ year career at the top of the game?

But then again....are we talking assets, or liquid cash? Big difference, ya know? Should be none of our business, I think..


As for Macca, if he took one hit lately, it's from this she-devil:

By that token, Courtney Love claims she was swindled out of 360 mill British pounds..what's the likelihood she ever had that kind of money to begin with?

Very likely. Even as recent as 2007, Kurt Cobain was the highest grossing dead celebrity/musician---beating out Elvis Presley and John Lennon. Trust me, tons of money still flowing there, even more than when he was alive. (see: http://www.forbes.com/2006/10/23/tech-m ... _land.html)
However, I do think Cork's calculater is a bit skewed...that is a LOT of scratch, but then again, like I said before......are we talking actual CASH? Like someone reached in her pocket (bank account) and took real money, or took "supposed future revenue" taken by labels etc? Who knows, and who cares!

So much for keeping my breakfast down :shock: :lol: :shock:

IMHO, you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of a no talent vulture living off of someone elses success.

I don't think any of them are quite ready for the soup kitchens yet.
