Just think about this, for starters, there is a Beetles Rock Band coming out soon.
How much does his estate stand to make from their cut of the profits from that game?
How much of his unreleased recordings will be 'found' within the next 10 years?

So much of what he owned in ATV Music was so heavily mortgaged. He offered to sell it a few times. I think we'll see the extent to which he was leveraged and enabled momentarily.
Paul and Yoko had ample opportunities to purchase the catalogue, but MJ just outbid them. Even Yoko said that it was better to have someone not related to the Beatles to own the songs. I don't know how I feel about it. We're going to learn a lot soon.

Perhaps someone not related, but not necessarily Michael Jackson. LOL.
Outbid is outbid, but his outbidding never sat well with me.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I think it's all a big ole Velvet Goldmine style hoax. He's probably on Marlon Brando's Tahitian island.

That crossed my mind yesterday when TMZ was the only source that claimed he had passed and CNN took so darn long. I think he's really deceased, though.
I will NOT do him like they did Elvis and TuPac. No No No. LOL.

I was clicking thru the little news items on my cable, and UCLA Med Center - where he died - is the same place that leaked Farrah's records to the media. That just set off all kinds of red flags for me.

No, I'm not going that route either. I believe Elvis is dead and unfortunately Michael is dead. However, I DO believe that Tupac is still alive. In fact CNN reported seeing him in Beverly Hills a few years ago. But then, allegedly they had to take the story down because of issues surrounding his death. The story from CNN was that his death was faked because he had to enter the witness protection program after ratting out a major crime figure shortly before the time when he "died."

LOL. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

But, your punks didn't finish
Now, you 'bout to feel the wrath of a menace

Have you ever heard Paul's story about how he was the one who encouraged MJ to buy songs? Paul invokes a squeaky voice. It's hilarious.
I think Paul should have the songs too.

LOL. It is hilarious. LOL. Let me see if I can find it.
I thought he had a deal with MJ about what would happen after MJ bought the songs. That may be my imagination.
