the "new" ProJo

A little surprised to see KCobain at the peak of the list for Forbes Magazine’s Top Earning Dead Celebrities.    He hasn’t been on the list in five years but knocked off Elvis from the top spot with earnings of 50M last year.  All of it from CLove selling 25% ownership of his music to a marketing company.   The first time his music will be used commercially will be on an upcoming episode of CSI.    

I’ve been purging my collection on (and off) ebay to pay for the porch and other debt.  Lots of singles, LP’s and (surprisingly) some JMangum sketches have brought in real good change.   Now, if I could only get rid of my tinyshowcase crap.  

Another stunning turn of events in the nasty Casino debate.   RI’s only newspaper, the ProJo, has shifted it’s editorial stance ( after 12 years of being anti-casino) and now has switched sides and promoting the mystery benefits two weeks before the election.    No explanation for the change.   But it has been learned the private company that offered to buy Harrah’s has an office across the street from Belo headquarters in Texas.    

How much do you think it took for the newspaper to sell out?
