    Post Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch Might Become a Music School


    Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch Might Become a Music School




    Colony Capital, the company that now owns Michael Jackson's famous former home, Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, is developing a plan to turn the mansion into a private music institute, "similar to Julliard," TMZ reports. Jackson's ranch would become a campus where students "rich and poor" could learn to write and perform music, if Santa Barbara County and Jackson's estate sign off on it. Sources connected with the Jackson estate said, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it." Get your applications ready. [TMZ]

    to be perfectly honest this would be something Michael would have loved. Sharing the gift of Music in his own home. this is definitely something Michael would approve of im more then sure of it. if they cant put it back the way Michael had it then this is the next best thing as long as there is something of Michael in that house.

    This does sound like a wonderful idea. I just hope that if it does happen, they will make it good and it will become real legit and will be respected!

    Exactly, what better way to keep Michael's legacy alive then to turn his beloved Neverland into a Music School, I'm all for this one if it turns out to be true

    I actually like this idea, as long as the "for the rich and the poor" thing is true. I think this should really be done to it, Michael would love it!

    love the idea.. these are the things..that keeps a legacy...vibrant, long lasting and positive..
    Sony/ATV, a joint venture between Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) and pop star Michael Jackson, expects more music catalogues to be put up for sale this year as people look to cash in profits in a slowing economy, said CEO Martin Bandier in a telephone interview.

    "To the extent that large acquisitions become available, Sony/ATV is in a particularly good place," he said. "It's hard to overpay for a great Picasso...if you're buying quality music that will last for generations. Great songs are a rarity."

    Sony/ATV is a traditional music publisher which makes money every time a piece of music is used on a variety of outlets including radio, movies, live performances, advertising as well as a share from recorded music sales.

    Reuter, 17 Apr 2008

    Michael P. Schulhof, president and CEO, Sony Corporation of America, said: "Michael Jackson is not only the most successful entertainer in history; he is also an astute businessman. Michael understands the importance of copyrights and the role they play in the introduction of new technologies. In joining us for this new venture, Michael recognizes Sony's leadership in developing and realizing new technologies that serve to expand the creative horizons of artists such as himself.

    He added, "To have Michael Jack son's song catalogues joined with ours will enable both Sony Music and Michael Jackson to aggressively build on a publishing portfolio filled with songs that are acknowledged as the cornerstones of popular music today."

    Sounds like a great idea. Though my initial wish was for Neverland to be returned to its former glory and purpose (which I doubt the Estate would support, since they seem to be interested in profitable and not charitable ventures), somehow this seems like something Michael might have approved.

    It would be significantly better if such music classes were for free (or subsidised), and its purpose being to find and develop musical talents and to promote music overall. But unfortunately, this isn't a free world, and I doubt the parties involved are interested in being charitable.

    This could turn out to be great.

    " " A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life."
    I like that thought, the last one I have before my eyes close. With a smile, I melt back into the music myself" - Michael Jackson
