Beatles RockbandIn 1985, Michael Jackson bought the rights to the Beatles record catalog with the rights to other artists' songs for $47.5 million. In 1995, he sold half the rights to Sony for $90 million. How much is the Beatles record catalog and associated rights worth today?
Since Michael Jackson's Death his recording sales themselves have gone through the roof. Some estimates are in the millions for songs sold after his death.
If Michael Jackson's estate earns revenue from The Beatles Rock Band Pre Release the family could all be get rich. Let's face it MJ probably gave family members very little cash. We can assume this from news reports and the way he designed his will. He didnt distribute any of the estate to anyone but his mother and the clause assoitiated with the mother shows he didn't even trust them or like them.
The family could have a windfall when the estate is settled. It has been reported that Michael Jacksons Mother has been dishing out allowances to the family members with meger incomes for years. The Jackson Five still makes money too. They also saw a gain in sales after Jackson's death.
High assett music libraries, like The Beatles, is worth the value of projected future value generated by the asset. If the Beatles catalog generates $70 million a year in profits and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future, then value the asset at the present value of $70 million per year for the next twenty years could be a reality.

Lets get to the game. This is a wonderful idea, but will young gamers buy it. They might. The game has the hippy days and the hard rock days of the beatles.

Reviews

I ordered my Beatles Rock Band kit for my Wii a month before it came out last year, and have thoroughly enjoyed it ever since. I previously had the original Rock Band, and upgraded to this baby. Looking at the different controllers from my point of view. First the drums, 2.4Ghz wireless styled after Ringo's set. Add the 3 cymbals, and you have an 8-piece kit unlike any other. Second, the microphone is the same as the original kit. Nothing new here. Third, Sir James Paul McCartney's Hofner Bass Guitar controller. This baby in my mind kicks the other guitar controllers off the planet. Five main buttons, five solo buttons, hot looks and sound. What else could you ask for? Playing this baby I find easier than the Strat and Les Paul guitar controllers. Reason being, I can reach with my fingers and gain extra control of this guitar. If you want to upgrade from Rock Band, do it this way. This is the Ticket to Ride the Yellow Submarine Wii style. If you want the best, forget the rest, and Rock With The Beatles.

I questioned whether or not to spend so much money on a game. Ha! The Beatles Rock Band was a bargain given the amount of pleasure it has provided my family. I only wish I'd bought it earlier! My kids and their friends really enjoy themselves playing the music and it is fun for parents, too. Even when I'm not playing the game, I love hearing the music! The best thing of all is that my teenage daughter, who previously did not seem very interested in much of anything, now wants drum lessons. Thanks, Rock Band and Ringo!

Great game. It plays exactly the way I expected. If you enjoy the Beatles, you will love this game. Great for all ages. My 3-year old loves playing the drums.

My only complaint was that I couldn't find wireless microphones until yesterday I saw on Amazon the Logitech..wireless microphones for $79....each!!! I think that is a lot to pay since I needed two because one comes with it (with a wire and stand). But of course I ordered the Logitech wireless because we want to sing in harmony. I didn't understand if the ones that were $19.99 how you would connect them to the Wii. I guess you would need some sort of adaptor but it didn't tell you that on the Amazon website. Another question I have is can we add another guitar and will guitar hero or rock band guitars work and do they need a special adapter. OR are there wireless guitars that work. Now for my praise: We have been having so much fun. Young and old alike. Friends looked at me weird when I said come over and sing the Beatles with us....they frowned and said really....and guess what....they arrived at our house at 8 p.m. and we had to ask them to leave by 1:30 a.m. Our age range is 50-60. WE LOVE IT!!!!

This was a Christmas present for the whole family and since then it's Beatlemania at our house. Easy to set up, easy to play and great fun for all ages. Only complaint is that the singer has to be very close to the mic to register correctly. Our 11 year old daughter sometimes spits on it. Yuch.

Michael Jackson Father Son Relationship In Oprah Interview Video

Stop Child AbuseFrom the mouth of the man himself. " He Beat Me". This is so sad as it is for anyone who has suffered from child abuse.
Joe Jackson was running around to TV camera's every chance he could get with in a day of sons death. He apparently decided after his son's death would capitalize in a few ways. One being to promote The Michael Jackson name for his own gain. The second reason we see is to deny beating his son. Watch Joe Jackson On Larry King.

Joe Jackson is a child abuser according to his own son!

In the interview that Michael Jackson gave to Oprah it is clear MJ troubled by child abuse in his life. He say's he has forgiveness for anyone who has ever done him wrong.
Jackson was said to openly forgive all who published lies and deceiving articles and news stories about him. Michael Jackson delves into the abuse and lies in his life during this Oprah interview.

This may be breaking news for Joe Jackson but for the rest of us we know what he is.

Joe Jackson On Larry King 6-20-09. Denies Abuse And Much More

July 21, 2009 by T Shirt King  
Filed under Breaking News Video

Michael Jackson's Father Joe Jackson From CNNThanks to CNN we can see just how messed up in the head Joe Jackson is. When Joe Jackson speaks he exhibits traits that abusers and lairs have. Mumbling when speaking to something. Not showing your eyes. Saying things that make no sense in order to draw others off of the true point of a conversation. We are not calling Joe Jackson a liar. We are only speaking to his demeanor and our opinion. Know one really knows what this guy is thinking.

This guy is so full of BS it is not funny. He animatedly denies abusing his son Michael Jackson even knowing his own son is the one who went on national television and stated he did abuse him.

This is how spousal and child abusers respond to questions like Larry King asked of Joe Jackson. When King asked if Joe Jackson was surprised to find out he was excluded from the Will his response was all about him. He said no he wasn't surprised it didn't HURT Him.

Another statement he makes is that he is still with his wife. He lives in Vegas and she lives in California. That doesn't sound like they are together to any sane person.

Does this guy have Alzheimer or is he in denial. Really way even go on CNN and make these crazy statement. Maybe Joe Jackson need to be put in a institution for evaluation.

Joe Jackson say's he has made no mistakes in life. That's something very few people can claim. As far as we can see all this man ever did was use his talented children to get out of poverty. Other than that what has he done. Does abusing his children justify that?

Jackson Death Investigation Becoming Focused on Homicide, Overdose

July 10, 2009 by T Shirt King  
Filed under Breaking News Articles

On Thursday July 9 2009 CNN reported that the Jackson Family was informed that early autopsy results could be pointing at a cause of death connected to a overdose or even a homicide.

This could mean many things. Jackson took to many drugs and overdosed or someone intentionally gave him drug that he overdosed on. That is if drug are the cause of death.

Could someone have wanted Michael Jackson dead? Maybe the man was 50 years old and was going to do a group of 50 shows in the UK. That could be a motive to someone with money invested in the tour. Jackson was reportedly in poor health and more than likely unable to complete all the concerts.

Doing 50 concerts as a older adult is not unheard of. The Rolling Stones have had a few tours since they all turned fifty and even 60 years old, But Jackson was a small petite man.

That theory doesn't really fly though. Concert promoters get the insurance on a performer before they advance any money. So if the promoters had already paid for the rental home in England and a Doctor for the tour it only makes sense that the insurance was in place. Insurance would pay out if Jackson could not complete his obligation.

Could the focus on homicide be moving towards a doctor or group of doctors that over prescribed drugs to Michael Jackson? Maybe in the Anna Nichole Smith Investigation the doctors involve have been investigated.

It would be hard to charge a doctor with homicide. If a patient has multiple doctors it would be hard to prove which one gave him the drugs that killed him.

Again as of now drugs are not the official cause of death, but all public evidence is beginning to point that way.

Jackson himself admitted to having a drug problem with prescription. The family has said that it was only that one time. I can speak from personal experience from having friends overdose and die that drug addict never stop 90% of the time. They can also hide it very well.

For the family to say they had no idea about drugs is simply them trying to protect there brothers name and legacy. How could they be unaware if Jackson himself publicly acknowledge drug addiction and treatment for it.

We have heard some reports from people who say they where close to Jackson like his spiritual adviser says maybe he just wanted to go out on top. Has in Michael Jackson intentionally committed suicide.

After Jackson memorial and the statement from his daughter Paris suicide also would seem unlikely. It is very obvious that MJ loved his kids. He went through so much to obtain them and protect them. Most people would not go through all that and leave the kids with a memory of a parental suicide for life. But then again from personal experience this is not unheard of. Parent can be selfish too. That's what suicide is. Self indulgence and self centered.

Back to Driprivan. Reports are coming out that Michael Jackson did have doctors administer the drug Driprivan.

Paris Jackson Lets World Know Her Dad Was A Good Father

Filed under Breaking News Video

Over the years Michael Jackson has shielded his kids from the media. Not just the media put any prying eye's. Rightfully so. MJ like any father was trying to protect them from what he endured over 45 years of fame.
No father or parent want kids to go through bad things they experienced growing up. We can all relate to that. We base the way we bring our kids up by our experiences. Constantly trying to keep sons and daughters out of trouble we know about. Passing on what we know really.
Michael Jackson was using what his life experiences where to bring up his kids. The strangeness of his youth is what he knew and that's it. Doesn't matter what others think. It's what he knew and nothing can change that.
Paris Jackson made her love be known for father and sacrificed any privacy she had. That shows just how much love is there.

Michael Jackson Dead at 50 After Cardiac Arrest

June 29, 2009 by T Shirt King  
Filed under Breaking News Articles

Entertainer Michael Jackson died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday June 25, 2009 having suffered cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.

Paramedics took Jackson, 50, from his west Los Angeles home Thursday afternoon to UCLA Medical Center, where a team of physicians attempted to resuscitate him for more than an hour, said brother Jermaine Jackson. He said the famed singer was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PT.

An autopsy is scheduled Friday, he said. Results are expected Friday afternoon June 25, 2009. According to Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles coroner's office, who also said Jackson was unresponsive when he arrived at the hospital.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN paramedics were sent to a west Los Angeles, California, residence after a 911 call came in at 12:21 p.m.

Law enforcement officials said the Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide Division opened an investigation into Jackson's death. They stressed there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing but that they would conduct interviews with family members and friends.

CNN Analyst Roland S. Martin spoke on Thursday with Marlon Jackson, brother of Michael Jackson.

"I talked to Frank Dileo, Michael Jackson's manager. "Frank told me that last night Michael was complaining about not feeling well. He called to tell him he wasn't feeling well."

"Michael's doctor went over to see him, and Frank said, 'Marlon, from last night to this morning, I don't know what happened.' When they got to him this morning, he wasn't breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and couldn't bring him around."

"Janet Jackson is grief-stricken and devastated at the sudden loss of her brother," Kenneth Crear, her manager said. "She is ... flying immediately to California to be with her family."

Michael Jackson, the music icon from Gary, Indiana, was known as the "King of Pop." Jackson had many No. 1 hits, and his "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time.

Jackson was the seventh of nine children from a well-known musical family. He is survived by three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.

Jackson's former wife, Lisa Marie Presley, said she was "shocked and saddened" by Jackson's death. "My heart goes out to his children and his family," she said.

At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

Video footage shows a large crowd gathering outside the hospital.

Some of Jackson's music was being played outside. The sounds of "Thriller" and "Beat It" bounced off the walls.

Outside Jackson's Bel Air home, police arrived on motorcycles. The road in front of the home was closed in an attempt to hold traffic back, but several people were gathered outside the home.

Along with his success Jackson had some legal troubles later in his career.

He was acquitted of child molestation charges after a well-publicized trial in Santa Maria, California, in March 2006.
Prosecutors charged the singer with four counts of lewd conduct with a child younger than 14; one count of attempted lewd conduct; four counts of administering alcohol to facilitate child molestation; and one count of conspiracy to commit child abduction, false imprisonment or extortion
