Difficult to tell these global megacorps one from another 
Completely agree. I had to double check before posting. Way back when I worked at a record store I knew UMG and WEA were separate entities, but I stopped keeping track of who owns who a long time ago.

Some years back I sat at the bar for dinner in one of those faceless chains that fill malls across America and cater to corporate lunch and dinner crowds. They had a “get a pint for a dollar more” (koff, koff) “deal” going, and so I ordered one (this would be 16oz. vs. 12 oz.). The kid plunks a 12 oz. straight-sided “pint-style” glass in front of me and wanders off.
I shrugged, was thirsty, and so drank it. When he came back, I pointed out that this was in fact a 12 oz. glass. He begged to differ, as he’d no doubt been unknowingly fleecing the customers on the bar’s behalf for a while. I said, "OK, then give me a bottle of (whatever). I poured it into the glass, which it filled to the brim. To his credit, he looked chagrinned. Felt bad for the kid.

Clyde Lawrence’s testimony from the Senate Ticketmaster hearings.
Nature never ceases to amaze me. Also, the magnetic poles seem to be moving towards a reversal. When they flip, it should be pretty interesting.
The title of this article reminded me of a Broadway play from the 1960’s :
“Stop The World, I want To Get Off”.
[Talk about dredging up long forgotten useless information. ]
