| Good points. I wasn't factoring in the lawsuits. I think Meat would tour regardless. I don't think it's for the money. I think he stated in one interview that he was on tour practically all year and only saw his family for a few days. I think you maybe over estimating just how much a songwriter gets from a song. Anyway I think only the IRS would probably have an idea as to who is richest > I'll guarantee that it's the other way around.
