Leonard's Wiser Friends

Post by HolyTerror »

I wonder if Leonard has spoken to Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Yoko Ono or Phil Spector about this, or if they even know? Reed has been involved in decades of lawsuits with the surviving members of the Velvet Underground involving rights to money, for example. Phil Spector knows what it's like to be betrayed, Bob Dylan is very shrewd, Yoko Ono is still bitter about Michael Jackson making millions off of her dead husband's back catalogue. And we all know Lou bites like a snake...

I'm not voting, because....

He will not get the stolen money back. They've spent it. And I doubt he would want them to go to prison for fraud. They were his friends - once.

BUT - he will earn enough in the next 2 or 3 years to have a reasonable retirement and leave some to his children. He's doesn't appear to be a greedy man.
Only just found this video of LC:

This one does make me cry.

I agree with you, Fljotsdale, and have no reason to vote, including the number of years.

Phil Spector knows what it's like to be betrayed,
Yes, he probably felt betrayed when Leonard asked him to please remove the gun from his (Leonard's) head.
