What's so great about Shakespeare, anyways. How did a guy like him ever catch on?? And what's with his tie-in deal with Cliff's Notes, college courses and theaters?? I mean, who is managing this guy's estate, anyways??
Look at the Estate of Elvis Presley. Now there's a real icon if I ever saw one. The guy puffs up to the size of the Pillsbury doughboy, gets blasted on all kinds of drugs and lived in a house with velvet couches and real velvet pictures on the wall. And he ate peanut butter an banana sandwiches. No wonder he croaked when he did. And the $$$$ keeps rolling in.
The difference is good management. Ole Willie needed a guy like Colonel Parker to handle his affairs. Imagine how much cash the Shakespeare family would have now if they had merchandised this thing the right way.
Well, as for me, I can take Shakespeare or leave him. Elvis, too. I would rather sit down and read a good Ed Mcbain book, any day!!!
