A repost from Novwmbwr 2016
While many schlep to work everyday trying to eek out a few bucks some who have assumed room temperature long ago are making out much better.
According to 'Forbes' MJ grossed more then $1b since his death 6 years ago ($115m in 2014 alone). Elvis earned more since he died then the sum total of all he earned while still alive.
The article details 11 others who are doing quite well during their dirt naps.
Sure does make you wonder how it is dead people can earn vast amount$ more money then working stiffs doesn't it?

Was The United States Faking It's Wealth?
I've often said there is no such thing as money. If one accepts gold, a piece of paper or beads for trade things will move along just fine. Wealth is all in one's imagination. God didn't designate some value to an object, that's for sure. So did the United States fake it in the begining? Are they still faking it now?
As long as we have faith in some object of value in one or another thing life will move along just fine. If not... POOF!

A Different Kind Of "Dancing Queen" (Music Video)
Repost
They say, "There's more than one way to crack a nut". The same goes for different musical arrangements. A great composition is always a great composition no matter how it's rearranged if done right.

1st Studio Recording Of "Me & Bobby McGee" Janis Joplin
Repost
That's some damn fine singing. All done without echo, equalizers, instrumental back tracks, chorus vocal backup, pitch adjustment or 'auto tune' equipment. Today there's so much processina
It's a shame we don't get to hear more of these (not only hers) that were left on recording studios floors.
