Jones Archive ...can't believe this was nearly 30 years ago...and the more things change the more they stay the same This listener suspects we can give cable tv honorable mention in live musics' epitaph. Certainly the opportunities to play every night as Alexis Corner and his understudies once did had evaporated by this time. Now I can see shows without leaving my house. thanks for the postings Steve. They're a good read. Edited March 9, 2009 by rokarolla Quote

dpat Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Bonzo must have burned $9.5M (and whatever he earned in the previous years with Zep) as I remember reading from an Associated Press report (this being bullshit mind you) about a week after Bonzo's death that "... all he left his family was $800,000"!! Who comes up with that nonsense? Sure, Brit taxes were in the 90% range for rock stars back in the day, but for Bonzo only to have $800 Gs left after his death?? C'mon!!

dpat Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 How do you know? A rough guess would be that he earned $50 million dollars with Led Zeppelin. Do you think he lost $49 of that $50 million? I don't. Reading his brother Mick's biography and statements by son Jason Bonham have never mentioned that Bonzo burned thru all his money, save $800,000. Quote
