Forgive my tawdriness, but I'm gonna lift from myself elsewhere since I just wrote this ~ but I'm in agreement.
Even with his resurgence in the Splinter Group, the fact that that unit released nine albums in less than that many years sort of hints of a money grab to me. And if there is one thing we ALL know, Peter isn't into green manalishi! I don't mean to cast aspersions recklessly, as those closest around him have also clearly helped him. In fairness, I suppose this remains a two way street in a number of ways, and any of them profiting off of his name and talent at this point may deem it to be perfectly fair and justifiable, since they comprise his inner circle and support arm, and do what they can to keep him in good stead. C'est la vie.

I know the Mac are cited as having used the
Le Mobile Remote Studio truck, stationed out of Carlsbad, California. Exactly which of their stuff I do not know.

Also the
Rolling Stones Mobile Recording beast, which the group utilized on a number of their projects, was retired to Canada about a decade ago, after seeing a brief second life in NYC. The AIMS Project was created by Bill Wyman back in the late 80's as a vehicle to give up and coming bands a chance to work out of the Mobile Studio and produce top quality demos.

I think you're telling it like it pretty much is. Green should be set for life financially, assuming his monies aren't ravaged by others - or himself.
