Bob Dylan selling his entire music catalog...
I had no reason to question why Guns N' Roses covered music from other artists. I've always hear the original composer gets 50% of the royalties. I blogged about this before as music of the 50's often were covered many times by lots of no-name artists looking for exposure.It was just a boost as we already know guns N' Roses. Last year, I heard on my local classic rock station they were asked by Dylan to record the song as he was broke and needed some royalty money.
Last week, it was reported Bob Dylan sold his song catalog to Universal Media Group to an undisclosed amount. People on the grapevine are saying it's around $300 million.

David Crosby is complaining that music streaming is cutting his income and planning to sell his music catalog too.
I was talking to a friend of mine who is a big Dylan fan about this, and she said his personal life was in a heap as he had several wives and loads of Kids and he was having to support them all. In that case no wonder the man is broke.
It is refreshing to see a blog not about politics...
Will you be selling your music catalog too ?
I've got one song that was never published...
"You're the girl for me and everyone can see..."
In their haste to buy buy buy, they might overlook the contents of that collection.
