April 14, 200521 yr http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,153414,00.html Jacko Must Make Beatles Sale Thursday, April 14, 2005 By Roger Friedman Jacko Must Make Beatles Sale A deal to extricate Michael Jackson from his perilous financial situation is at hand. I can tell you exclusively that the deal Jackson is being offered must be signed in the next few days, or he really will have his proverbial head on the chopping block. I'm told Jackson will likely be presented with a deal sculpted by what I call his "permanent government" of lawyers and advisers, not the many shady characters who've come and gone over the years. This "government" includes music publisher Charles Koppelman (who's also on the boards of Martha Stewart and Steve Madden's companies), attorneys John Branca and Al Malnik, Jane Heller of Bank of America and private investors represented by Goldman Sachs. First, the deal: Sources say Jackson will be selling most of his 50 percent interest in Sony/ATV Music Publishing, aka the Beatles catalog.
April 14, 200521 yr I'm sure Paul is smiling. He was none too happy that Michael bought up those rights. Maybe Michael should start charging money to visit his pedophile compound, I mean Neverland Ranch!
April 14, 200521 yr I have been waiting for this day for 20 years now. Hopefully Paul can buy the collection back.
