Does anyone else see what I see?
People spend a lot of money to make money, they have think tanks seeking information on how to best capitalize.
Now bare with me, but let's assume they see the future as the rest of us patriots do, in taking back the country.
Now assume for the moment we've succeeded, it's now 2023 and patriots are undoing the damage the Marxists inflicted on this Great Nation.
A trend begins of returning to better days, when art was art, families came first and Govt was smaller.

Releasing one of the most iconic bands of the 60s and 70s in style and a more wholesome attitude in general, happiness, love songs, high energy music without the vulgarity.
That's what I see, these people capitalizing on, the last great era of the US and returning us to better days.

I know, sounds weird, but then, look at all the craziness the left inflicted on the Nation, and suddenly it all makes sense.


There's no word on how much Iconic Artists Group paid for the Beach Boys' intellectual property, but given the scope of what they now own (which includes the band's master recordings, the rights to the "Beach Boys" name, their likenesses, a share of their publishing rights and all memorabilia), one has to assume it was hundreds of millions of dollars. The band will still own an interest in its assets, but as NME writes, Iconic Artists Group will now have power over their business decisions.

"The Beach Boys, in a sense, are not just a band," Iconic CEO Olivier Chastan told Rolling Stone. "They're a lifestyle. They're a consumer brand. And they've never really exploited that."

Chastan also provided a hint about how he may exploit that moving forward, saying he wanted to explore virtual reality and other tech options. "That includes VR, AR, 3D, CGI, natural language processing, et cetera," he said. "That, to me, is probably the most interesting aspect of what's going to transform our business. In five years, I could send you a text and say, 'At 2 p.m., let's put our Oculus Rift glasses on, and let's go see the Beach Boys record 'Good Vibrations' at Western Recorders.'"

I don't know. I get selling the rights when you are older and getting that large lump sum, but I would probably be selective on who gets the rights to my intellectual property.

True, but what they do with them to make money is the key. Like marketing a new toy, all the movies that were designed around it, like the Stitch character.

My point is here, is they appear to be focusing on a better time in music, when it was fun and neither political or woke, neither of which has a following.

I'm pretty sure I'm Right on the money with this one.
