That was the best explanation of publishing/royalties that I've heard yet. I actually think I understand it a bit. As often as "Don't Stop" has been played over the years, can you imagine how much money Chris has made off just that 1 song alone? Thanks for posting, Homer.

Not exactly.

It is huge. There is very brief footage of the grounds of her estate on the video clips on her website. She's described it as being about as big as the rest of the village where she lives. She also owns a fancy, expensive apartment in London as well.

The publisher of Christine's stuff is Fleetwood Mac Music. I don't remember who owns that though! Howerver, I'll bet Mick has an ownership credit towards it.

It was during a medley with the top 6 guys last night. I thought it was fine, but others think they butchered it.

It's also featured in one of those Ford commercials they make them do every week (I think the commercial is probably up on www.americanidol.com - now that was pretty cheesy.

I've been wanting to hear a FM song on American Idol sang right. I was still excited to hear the song even though I wasn't totally impressed with the singing. I did like it a little when the guys sang it. I didn't like it at all when Taylor and Kat sang it during the commericial. Maybe its because I can't stand Katharine

He never answered my question........

(I'm telling myself he just didn't see it.......)

If you asked him on his online forum, he probably hasn't seen it yet or hasn't had time to reply. He's usually pretty good about getting back to you within a few days. At least he was the two times I posted questions on there.

I'm guessing he was just busy at the time.

If you'd read the rest of the posts, he did answer the question.
