I came across an interesting article this week in the online version of the New York Times (in the Arts Beat Blog). It is part of an interview with musician Don Henley, probably best well-known for his days with the Eagles, but also for a very successful solo career afterwards. The article relates to music rights, not taxes, but I thought worthwhile posting nonetheless. See the link below for the full article.
