We'll it'll have at least one fan!

[ummmm]

I hope he has a lovely time spending it.

I think he's got another 4 years inside and he won't be facing the same struggles as most other ex-cons.

Surely, if someone is in prison... these kinds of royalties should be given to appropriate charities, instead?

[Spicerack]

You're a right old fascist, pixie.

[hc4361]

Lots of prisoners continue to earn a good income whilst serving their sentence, pixie. We may not like it but at least they won’t be reliant on benefits when they are released

I've seen the film......it was average IMHO.
As has been said, there are no lyrics sung by Glitter, the track used is the intro to Rock and Roll.

Heinous as GG's crimes were, we can't just erase him from history, nor his place in music. Though not convicted in a criminal court, Michael Jackson is still played on radio etc.
How many still listen to music produced by Phil Spector?
These people can't be removed from the annals, otherwise, what next, back to burning books?

Yes it's unpalatable to some but that's the law in relation to royalties.

With an almost $100m opening weekend in the States, I'd say its been REALLY well received.

Yes, they saw the film, loved it, paid top dollar ...

// taking $93.5 million at US cinemas over the weekend. //

... then checked their PC-meter apps & horrors ...

// wave of criticism from disgusted cinema-goers //
(they weren't disgusted by the theme of the film? Just the song? )

... & the Virtue Choir sang ...

According to Wiki, this is actually the seventh film to use this piece of music, so it's probably part of the hype surrounding this individual, and most successful film that is creating waves.
