The Songwriting of Live Options

[SJN1279]

In Ed's head, he is talking about how he has changed from rock and roll excess to finding god/family. Many of us here twist it into him singing about how he has changed to become a guy who backstabs his friends CC&P. This is probably the clearest way I can explain it here for someone who is new to the board

CCP had no problem taking 75 percent song writing credit and money for songs that Ed basically wrote 100 percent himself. I think that is a pretty crummy thing to do to a friend.

Everything was allocated pursuant to a written agreement dummy. It doesn;t do any good to whine about what was fair to justify Ed stealing money because he had a contractual obligation.

You don't just stop paying you rmortgage because your interest rate is higher than market rates and you can't refinance.

You are really an idiot.

It just shows that CCP took advantage of the agreement, let Ed do the bulk of the work, and still took the same cut of the money. If they were true friends, they would have reworked the initial agreement to make the percentages reflect the workload of each member. Instead, they sat back and collected.
