Well, it seems like everyone is doing it. Dylan did last year.

I remember Michael Jackson bought rights to Rudolph the rednose reindeer I think,
and then Mcartney bought it from him.

Must be a thing, like stocks.

He is in his Glory Days again

He did seem to get a mittful. Good for him if that's what he wanted to do.

No need to prove it all night anymore like he had to here

Confirming links below - not sure who this will effect besides the rights-buyers and The Boss, himself.

Wow, that's a nice piece of change. It seems this is the wave of the future because of the changes in the business.

future Viagra commercial

I was interested, but when bidding hit $12 million, I dropped out - too much for me.

Does anyone know if the Boss recently had a bad checkup?

Or is he just getting tired of touring and wants to retire to a ranch in Montana or some such?

These guys are getting older like we are - and if I got the right offer on my house, it'd be hard to keep me here ...

 

[Cjteleforum]

I guess he won't be riding in any used cars again...

Will he still work on them ?

 

[StratDal]

You tell 'em Bruce!

 

[Texicaster]

Remember when Ted Nugent offered to buy Muzak for $10 million to “shelve it for good.”

With any luck...... perhaps there is some good samaritan out there who feels the same as I do about BS.....

 

[stantheman]

I'm riveted...
Scintillating...

Sorry Men - it's been a rough day.
And way too long already.

Probably because streaming services pay nothing per play.

And to make things easier for his heirs, and their heirs, and their heirs, and their heirs...

I remember transposing his music to their correct Keys, as he played them, in the early 70s.
Love his early stuff.
How much money does he think he needs. He's toured here several times, and I'm sure in your country. How much does he think he needs? Will he do something good with 1/2 a $ billion?

Expect to hear more BS music in commercials, movies, tv shows. it's where the artist relinquishes any control or pretensions over their work and is done.
