I do wish more people would phrase it that way instead of saying "earned"
in cases like these! The two terms aren't synonyms.

I noted BTW that some 'talent' may hide behind a 'company' and thus what
they actually get paid remains unclear.

I can't comment about Russ Andrews, but if you want to know about audio "smoke
and mirrors" Brian, Magic Alex will interest you. He was the man who promised to
build the Beatles a 72-track analogue multitrack recorder at a time when the 4
track Studer J37 was state of the art. He also said that he would render studio
acoustic treatment, tiles, screens etc, as unnecessary by using an acoustic
"force-field" generated by six massive computers which be bought as redundant
technology from British Aerospace. Similarly, he claimed that a control to
studio "talkback" system would no longer be required as he could electronically
tune players/producers/engineers to the "same artistic wavelength". The Beatles
put him in charge of their technical R+D at Apple Electronics to design and
build there new studio in Saville Row. He brought them to to verge of
bankcruptcy.


Goes to prove you can pay someone obscene sums of money but if they are
devoid of talent they'll still just produce crap.

Which reminds me, must go and check the BBC pay announcement to see what
Chris Evans is being paid...


Waay too much the fecking lot of them!
