former co worker of mine has a connection to him. She got invited to his wedding anniversary party. Based on her description of his house... he's doing very ok. The finances of music interests me. Like how do they track all of it? I know Henley is super stingy. Rick Beato always talks about "blockers" on his music videos even though all he's doing is commenting. There's a clip from Letterman on YouTube where he wanted to play an Eagles song but his producer was fighting him over the cost. You could see some panic I listened to a pod a few years ago and they mentioned the struggles getting clearance for some rap songs for movies because of sampling. Every single owner has to sign off and in some cases they'd sample some 70's funk band with 13 guys in it and you'd have to track down a sax player who's been out of the business. It's why some TV shows have never made it to streaming. THe movie Pump Up the Volume is now on HBO Max but for a long time it wasn't anywhere. They didn't get clearance for the music.

Results oriented decisions instead of going where the theory takes you. The complete opposite of what it should be.

Personally I believe our minds and brains are configured to understand things here on Earth. There's a limit. I'm a space buff. I've read a lot of books on the subject of exploration and it seems incredibly wasteful for the Christian notion of a God to just focus on Earth given the billions of other galaxies out there. I also never got past the idea that someone who grew up in say, a Mayan civilization, was doomed to eternal damnation.... or a contemporary of us born in the jungles of South America or some tribe of Africa or a desert in the Middle East is doomed because they didn't have the good fortune to be exposed to Christianity. It'll make sense to us at some point. I do believe in a diety. What we have today is too great to just be an accident. But it's beyond our scope of the human brain to undestand. That's ok.

The thing with the SS is cute in that it's dramatic but the biggest story is the arms. Trump knew they had guns. He wanted it so that there would be more of them. He demanded that. He wanted to be with them. He knew they wouldn't hurt him and said so. He didn't care if they hurt others. He said Mike Pence deserved to be hung.

Fox talking about Maxwell and Epstein and Hillary.

I meant "right now" to mean in this general timeframe of when it the show came out. Not all time. although owning the rights to a top song can set you up for life as if you won the lottery. I remember being shocked once when I saw a house that Barbara Mandrell owned. If you owned your songs and got good radio airplay in the 60s-80s you were set. Bob Seger said not giving himself a credit on Old Time Rock and Roll, which was a throw away song on the album it was released on cost him probably $20M. He didn't even use the Silver Bullet Band on it. USed the guys at Muscle Shoals. He did change the song somewhat but didn't think it was a big deal because the song wasn't important. It was filler. Then Risky Business.

Cassidy is 26 years old? Talk about courage. More so than anyone else I've seen in that White House.

He'll just simply talk about something else. He will make fun of pop stars swearing about Roe.

https://qz.com/2182571/how-much-is-kate-bush-making-from-running-up-that-hill/ Luminate’s Jonas estimates that Bush has made $2.3 million in streaming royalties between May 27, when the fourth season of Stranger Things debuted, and June 23. According to estimates, Bush made $1 million just from streaming between June 16 and 23. Unlike many artists, Kate Bush owns the entire recording copyright to the original recordings of her music. She owns these masters through an independent record label of her own called Noble & Brite. Only the distribution for “Running Up That Hill” is done by a third party, Warner Music Group, leading the website Music Business Worldwide to estimate she’s bringing in more than 80% of her music revenues and calling her the “world’s biggest independent artist right now.” Bush will also make money on physical and digital sales of her music. And because she’s the only songwriter listed on the single, she’ll receive all of the radio airplay revenue, too—plus whatever money Netflix paid her for song rights in Stranger Things.

ketchup All you need to know.

I can't wait to hear the GOP tell us why he's not qualified

Oops... Someone screwed up.

I literally just went to wikipedia to refresh myself on a lot of things I had forgotten. Remember that "She persisted" came from his nomination. Warren wanted to read some things on the Senate and Cocaine Mitch stopped her, led to a formal rebuke. In his statement he said "neverthless she persisted". A male senator later read the very same thing.

have no idea if this is an accurate figure but I read that she's kept all of her songwriting and publishing rights and is making $1M a week now.

and he's not the first one to say that. I had a family member say it yesterday when they were over. I said the very same thing you did. They looked at me like I was speaking Portuguese. In their head they're thinking "But Hannity said...." The cheap slogans they hear over and over again are so ingrained in their head that they lose logic.

Every democrat running for Governor in any state should commit to that.

So bummed they are here on Wednesday the same night as TTB. That’s going to eat into the ticket sales for sure.

When I saw TTB in Chicago Susan had a leg injury and had to sit on a stool. So after finishing up she says "Ok, I'm not getting up off this stool so we'll just go right into the encore now"

our local city council meetings that I've attended open in a prayer and it's a diverse set of officials giving the prayer. I believe it's a rotation.

But remember, ACB said the good thing about overturning this will be to increase the supply of regular white babies.

and don't forget where every miscarriage will be investigated. "What did you do?" "Take any medication?" We'll have to subpoena your pharmacy and insurance" "Did you go hiking or running?"

Yep. I read a book about the TV change in the 00's... the transition into things like Idol, Millionaire, Housewives, The Office, and they talk about that. He was a washed up nobody before that. He was, to quote Bill Simmons about Magic Johnson, "one step away from being pissed on by Verne Troyer on a reality show".

I'm on the fence as well... the first one isn't anything special for me. When we saw Dr. Strange they had a special preview of the money where they showed a few minutes of a scene. I was bored then.

Politicians and law enforcement are different groups of people. Pay more attention. Don't you "back the blue"?

if authorities think someone's breaking the law you investigate. That is literally their job. Nobody's "going after" him. Why did the LAPD "go after" OJ? See how dumb that sounds
