"I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more greased-up cub scouts…er, um, I mean cowbell! COWBELL!"

[via “The Colbinator”] I knew that Michael “Bad Touch Scout Troop

Leader” Jackson owned the rights to a large chunk of the Beatles’

catalogue, but didn’t know that he had a 50% share in Blue Oyster Cult’s

Here’s a list of the other songs for which he is half-owner:
