This tool is helpful, but I’d recommend finding a shop you like (and trust!) and sticking with it if you want the best deal. I ran an auto repair shop for five years and I loved getting to know the regular customers. To me, seeing a familiar face meant I didn’t have to try to convince them we weren’t about to rip them…

As someone who has worked in music royalty accounting for over a decade, it’s true that 9 out of 10 albums/artists are money losers for labels. I certainly understand why artists feel like they are not adequately compensated — most aren’t. Prince’s success has paved/paid the way not only for his protogés, but many…

It’s not a very good (or PC) analogy, but I guess sometimes you need to use loaded language to get people’s attention?

Maybe I’m replying a little hotter than usual because I just put up with some crazy-assed commenting re the Bernie Sanders fiasco in Seattle....

Their asking all the time and raising the man you wanted to marry means they’re both cognizant of the work required and are willing to do it, right? Give peace a chance.

In my experience dealing with the same thing, it is 100% hoping to pay less child support. Also, nothing against the child, but who the hell names a musician’s child “Royalty” and doesn’t immediately think about money? If the mother named her, then maybe the dipshit could have seen the writing on the wall, and if the…

Some states, like mine, do not have alimony. Child support is used by MANY here partially as upkeep. And good luck with that bit about investigating improperly used funds here, too.

i guess he doesn’t have a leto-dick.

So... I just Googled “Michelle Remembers”...

Does not mention said kids name. “How’s your kid doing” is barely acquaintance level small talk.

Taylor for the win

I came here to say “I would like to nominate what Taylor said for this week’s Shade Court”, but you got here first. Kudos.

“Then Kanye and I both reached a place where he would say really nice things about my music and what I’ve accomplished, and I could ask him how his kid’s doing...”

I’ve been a Taylor Swift apologist, but damn, she is going about things the wrong way lately.

The only reason I know her name is from the Simpsons, and until now I didn’t know her alleged crime at all. In fact, the only reason I know many US-specific things is from the Simpsons. Daily Mail types really need not worry about the americanisation of Britain, at least not until we cease to learn anything new about…

No way! I am Canadian and I know about it. Most people do (I polled my office mates). This was one of the biggest crimes of the past century, it being in the US doesn’t excuse ignorance of that. Next you’ll be saying that it’s okay if someone outside of England to know of Jack the Ripper.

I still can't believe she got away with such a hack job. I'll see myself out.

Thank you. I recall her saying that she didn’t really want him to run. She didn’t want this life. She had concerns about raising her daughters in the White House. You get the feeling that they have a strong relationship, and that she is supporting her partner, but if she had her way, she would go back to her career as…
