- as as they get value for their money its all good, especially if its likely that other managers would not be so conscientious -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 12:10
- You are taking the customary 80%, right? - Will Hunting Jul 2, 12:07 4
  - Plus the traditional agent's right to Prima Nocta. -- nm - Ender Jul 2, 12:09 3

        no, all rumored. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 12:18 2
        
        it boggles my mind that this could be true -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 2, 12:22 1
        
        There is a purported 100 page prenup that gave her money up front, plus $2M a year. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 12:23
        
        as much as I think sham marriages are rupungnant (sp?) - I admire her for coming out financially ahead -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 12:18

  - I loved their Stone Cold Crazy cover on the Rubiat (?) compilation. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 2, 12:21
  - I prefer their "Whisky in the Jar" -- nm - nubby Jul 2, 12:17 4
    - Last Caress or Stone Cold Crazy are their best covers, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jul 2, 12:22
    - my favorite - Pippy Jul 2, 12:18
    - *glove slap* -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 2, 12:18 1
      - ~Stand and Deliver or the devil he may take ya~ -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 12:20
- Johnny Cash - Hurt -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 12:02

      - Heartbreak Hotel, rearranged from a low down blues to an upbeat rock, another for the best cover list -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 12:12
    - Yes. No one would argue that I Will Always Love You isn't Whitney's hit -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 12:03 4
      - You're mis-understanding me. Whitney was Whitney...no one questions her catalog. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 12:05 3
        
        IMO, if they had a hit, even if it was a cover, it counts. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 12:06 2
        
        And you and con carne have now put 500000% more time into analyzing my joke than I spent in creating it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 12:08 1
