After learning from his friend Paul McCartney that owning music rights was a good investment, Michael Jackson turned around and bought the rights to the Beatles music. I believe it was after his success with the "Thriller" album in 1983. I heard Janet say it was a fair business move. I think it was a stab in the back to Paul. I wish McCartney still had control over his own music. I never understood how or why he lost it but I do know Record Companies have always been too greedy (sleazy). That is why the Beatles started the Apple label in the first place (and Zeppelin with SwanSong). I look forward to seeing the movie "Across the Universe" but I would much rather hear original Beatles soundtrack. In advertising, many high ticket product target consumers are beatlemania generation, in their 40s thru 60s. You hear many '60s & '70s music in ads today (and next decade the 80s), yet you never hear the Beatles. I wish we could hear them while those who remember are still alive! Peace
