I was always curious how they came up with the alleged amount to offer Brian when they sacked him. And if that was supposed to tie up all ends and if Brian signed something giving away all future rights. It would be interesting to know if Klein came up with all that, and if there is any such thing as an ongoing Brian Jones estate.
Dead celebrities likenesses are often handled by a handful of attorneys who are experienced with this, and it's the families of the celebrity who generally benefit. I've never seen much Jones merchandise. I wonder if the ABCKO reissues generated any profits for the Jones estate, or if Klein cut them off a long time ago. I imagine marketing a Jones likeness could get tricky. It would probably have to be tied not too closely to copyrighted Stones' images.

I forget about those Nanker-Phelge things on the early albums. Those probably produce a donut and a cup of coffee every few years. Maybe when Brian's sister passes away 'Brian's Bastards' could come forward as a group and claim the estate and use his image. All their lives looking at his mug and not getting a dime. They deserve some loot after all these years.

Have any of them come forward to ask for any?

I'm sure they have, and I've heard Brian's parents never wanted anything to do with them.

As for referring to his children as 'Brian's Bastards', this is the year 2012, and the meaning of the word Bastard has not been altered. It is a person born of unmarried parents, period. This is not like using the word 'colored' in 2012.

Actually, a bastard is a child born outside of marriage and then not legally accepted so that it does not have a legal right to inheritance of the father's legal possessions.

Well, that's a @#$%& up law, if it really is a law.
You mean to tell me that a father simply does not have to accept responsibility for a child he fathers, if the child was born out of wedlock ?
I think that's preposterous.

Not many know this but Jimi Hendrix has a bastard son in Sweden. I saw a picture of him in his teens and he looked like a copy of his father. However he hasn't recieved a cent from Jimi's estate since his mom wasn't married to Jimi. Which I think is morally wrong. After all, he is Jimi's son.

People use the word with no thought to the actual meaning.

Keith wanted to get to the bottom of what happened to Brian the night he died, but he couldn't attend his funeral a couple days later? Talk about love/hate relationships.
