A little-known "reversion" provision in the Copyright Act will allow
Paul to legally reclaim the rights to his songs written before 1978,
but without having to pay for them!! Lawsuits from Sony are expected
to fly like fur in a cat house.

I am pretty sure they would, and I think John's would go to his
estate.

And Ray Kurzweil says that if we can stay alive five more years that
the advances in biotech will have reached a point where they can keep
us alive and in good health indefinitely. I expect that will mostly
apply to the wealthy elite, but Sir Paul would qualify.

Hell, I used to look at 1985 as a long way off into the future!

Ever seen Back to the Future II, when they travel 30 years into the
future and end up in a world of flying cars? We're a mere six years away
from when that was set - 2015.

I want my hoverboard! ;-)

I refuse...just on principal...to look at the year 2018. Particularly
because I probably won't know any better when I get there. However, I
AM looking forward to 2012...just to how smart those Mayans are. Or to
await on that killer asteroid supposedly headed for the planet. Oh
my! (Is an *ass*teroid a cosmic hemorrhoid?)

Since Jackson had the ponytail, that picture with Paul must have been
taken after Jackson bought the songs in 1985. I remember seeing a
Paul interview (from about 1987 or 88) posted in rmb where he talked
about Jackson's ownership of the songs and the Nike commercial and
Paul said he recently saw Jackson in LA. The Bad album did come out
around that time.

To be brutally honest, Paul never looked that good after 1985.

Me too, Robert. I can still remember being in the first
grade, and writing 1961, as the year of being in
that class, and I almost got ran over by a car
in 1962..and almost died in a flash flood while
visiting Colorado, in 1965..and more close
calls..up till today.

It depends on who you know. My Aunt who lived in
California, died at age 65. She was my mom's
sister...6 and a half years younger, and my mom
will be 81..September 9th of this year..if she
lives that long with a degenerative (sp?)
Illness. Quite a few people in this forum
have died, in the last 10 years I've been here.

I loved those three shows. Probably the first one was the best.

I look better than anyone in this forum. Just check out my

In one of those multiple universes mentioned by proponents of the
*string theory*..."tuned to a natural E".

Oh, I completely agree!

Of course the *really* scary thing is that, if they happened to remake
it today, Marty McFly wouldn't be visiting the 1950s. Rather, he would
land in... 1979.

Now, actually what will happen is eruptions of the major calderas in the
world caused by excessive tectonic stresses. This coupled with the
reversal of the earth's magnetic field: For a couple of years during
the reversal, the earth will have *no* magnetic field. All living things
will be bombarded by huge amounts of cosmic rays. Well, that's for
starters...
