Michael Jackson is dead.

[Hammerskjold]

I don't see what you mean? I read the first half of the longer version and the whole shorter one. Seems like money was the reason as best I can tell.

I meant that while money was a big reason, probably the best reason, it's not the only reason.

If the LA times article is true, Jackson had other opportunities to buy other song rights that while might not be as potentially lucrative (relatively speaking of course), would still make him some nice mints. But he passed on it. He wanted to buy songs that also have a personal attachment to him, aside from earning potential. Let's be clear though, I never said he doesn't care about the money part or anything silly like that.
