I'm pretty sure their agency at the time - Irving Azoff's mighty CAA - got most of the riches. They were mismanaged from the beginning. I would know as I led the block that booked them as headliners for a series of venues in Tennessee after several years of doing third-line gigs at festivals; CAA wanted none of them being headliners when they were ready for it.

Their dad (who is/was GE's rep for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant and who fronts a damn fine new-grass band out of Muscle Shoals) had a long conversation with me after their show about CAA's shenanigans.
seems to be a common practice in the industry judging by the lawsuits...

Nope he's a mix. Border Collie for the size and intelligence, Australian Shepherd for the coat color and personality. They're bred by the Amish two counties south of me, Holmes County OH. No health problems. Last dog was a full blood Australian Shepherd, they tend to get Lymphoma, as did he at 7 years. My kids named him Flopsy. This one's named......wait for it.......Mopsy. Oh well!

The weight helps flatten my carefully curated thrift store record collection.

There’s a perimeter weight too, but it’s rare, expensive and a pain in the ass.

That said, effective at flattening warped records even better, as well as adding periphery weight for more inertia.

I really want that bronze platter… YOU LISTENING SANTA?!?!
