I wish nothing but the best for the good citizens of Gary.
However, the copyrights to the music Clay plays on the city hall phone while patronss are awaiting to be transferred to certain departments, jjust showed me how dumb he is.
We owned a bar and had to pay royalties to copyrighted music we played for Kareoke...and it didn't come cheap.
Here's porkchops thinking he knows everything. He has no idea to the legalities of promoting a big band shell, whatever, without the rights from the estate. Joe and his wife are being taken advantage of...and smart enough to say, Thank YOU, leave town, and never reveal what they know as to what is legal to Porkchops.
Michael's estate is covered - he wasn't as stupid as you all thought. His kids came first, and he made sure what he created will not be distributed without a price to pay - if ever. I got the impresion that Kathrin, the matriach, has much more common sense than the abusive father, and won't sign away any rights.
How many of you went back home where you were raised, just to see it again? I went twice; once without entering, 2nd time entering. I wouldn't care less what they do what that house, but it's in my past....and it has nothing to do with the succeess of my life. I only left a bunch of friends behind, but we still keep in touch, and what is this all of a sudden worshipping a house after years of emptiness?
What would MJ want? Exactly what he did since he left. Nothing to go back to.
Gary needs help, but not from a dead musician. They need a leader, looking forward without relying on a dead musician's chance of being raised there.
Joe and Clay belong in the jail of "self-served, corrupt individuals, serving themselves, living off the dead." Oh, and depending on welfare recipients and die-hard welfare people to trot in and out...
Talk about "HARD-UP!" It won't happen...I can't see my relatives traveling from California to check out a shack on their way to Mich., to take a chance at looking at a dilapidated, fixed-up house MJ didn't live in at the tiime.. They restored it, so it's "Come and look at how we restored this mildewed home!" We restored everything...Oh, I can just imagine people walking in with squenced gloves, rubbing the counters, rubbing the walls...figuring out when to come back and steal the memboralia..
Especially when the big plans sink in the sink hole you never had surveyors out to approve before donating land you couldn't afford. Talk about stupid.
The estate will not approve this deal, as one with better surroundings is being planned in CA with the estate approval.
Besides, it would slide into the swamp - that grateful gift that rudy clueless, porkshop 1968 radical has no clue what it takes to fund a business and maintain it.
Forget it...it will never happen. It's just a spur of the moment idea. He's as stupid is as stupid does. (Borrowing a line from the Forest Gump Movie).
It will never happen. I know myself all the legalities involved, and it will never happend.
Let's put it this way: would you invest in CA or Gary, IN where there is no income, just crime? You gotta be nuts as an greedy estate guardian to agree to invest in something worse than Ford Heights, IL.
Even Ford Heights doesn't make the news anymore.
Rudy Clueless, cut the porkchops off, and go on welfare like your town has to. Your dreams are just that - dreams that will never happen.
