Glad all over

It's been what -- a week now since the Dave Clark Five were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame and we can't help smiling.
We've watched the ceremony -- Tom Hanks' wonderful introduction (we'd love to know who wrote that), Dave Clark's gracious tribute to his bandmates and the fun jam session at the end of the group's music.
We wish the three survivors members had played with them. For that matter, we wish all of the band could have been there.
The music of the Dave Clark Five has been a forgotten treasure. Clark himself is responsible for that for not keeping the music available. But in all likelihood, he was cagily waiting for the demand to rise again.
It has. With the group's induction, people want to hear the music again, not in bits and pieces. A single disc compilation with two unreleased tracks is on
itunes and will be in retail stores eventually. And maybe some of those clips shown during the induction ceremony can be compiled into a DVD.
While numerous '60s groups have continued to exist in splintered lineups and seen demand for their music dwindle, the DC5, who lived in the Beatles' shadown for years, haven't done anything and now the demand is coming to them. Dave Clark is looking smarter all the time.
Now, who's glad all over?

Excerpts from Heather's statement outside court as reported by BBC News

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/entertainment/7300959.stm

"First of all, I just want to say I'm glad it's over. And it was an incredible result in the end, to secure mine and [my] daughter's future - and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with, because you know that's been my life for 20 years.
Obviously, the courts do not want a litigating person to do well. It's against everything that they ever wish. So, when they write the judgment up, they're never going to try and make it look in my favour.
But all of you that have researched know that it was always going to be a figure between £20 and 30 million. Paul was offering a lot less than that, which you'll see in the judgment - and very much last minute.
To put me and Beatrice sadly through this - it's been incredibly sad. So we're very, very, very pleased - and what I'd like to say - being a campaigning girl - is anybody wanting to go through a divorce - try your hardest, man or woman, to settle it immediately.
But if you're in an impossible situation - which anybody listening will know that, you know, people don't see eye-to-eye - things get out of hand. You can be a litigating person. It's not easy, but just make sure you do all your research, save yourself a fortune."

Correction

A correction: In an earlier update, I wrote Heather said the settlement was
amicable. She was actually referring to her parting with her former lawyers
Mishcon de Reya and not the settlement.

Breaking news: Paul McCartney divorce details

Bulletin #2: The UK Telegraph reports Heather will appeal. MSNBC.com has a
video interview with Heather Mills discussing the settlement. She said it
was an amicable settlement, but criticized Paul's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton,
saying she called her every name in the book, and recommended people do
their own legal work. (NBC said the settlement was $48.6 million.) She also
said she wouldn't have been commenting on the settlement had the judge not
made it public.

Bulletin #3: Heather was quoted in the UK Telegraph as saying she had been
asking for £125m ($253,675,246) and Paul had offered £15.8 million
($32,064,551).

As he left court, Paul said "all will be revealed" and that a statement
would be made shortly.

Bulletin #4 (10:45 a.m.) From teletext, which has the most details of the
court hearing The judge said the fundamental issue was what financial
provision should be made for Miss Mills, and that she had sought an award of
almost £125m.

Sir Paul proposed his wife should exit the marriage with assets of £15.8m,
inclusive of any lump sum award.

Mr Justice Bennett ruled that Sir Paul McCartney should pay Heather Mills a
lump sum of £16.5m, together with assets - including property - of £7.8m.

This means she will exit the marriage with £24.3m, inclusive of a deemed
figure of £500,000 referable to her overspending while they were separated.

The judge found the total value of the ex-Beatle's assets, including
business assets, was about £400m and not £800m.

And this:

The judge refused to permit either party to raise as an issue the alleged
conduct of the other on the broad ground that it was irrelevant.

The lump sum of £16.5m is made up of a sum of £14m as the capitalized figure
for Miss Mills's income needs and a sum of £2.5m to buy a property in
London.

Financial provision for their daughter, Beatrice, consists of a payments of
£35,000 per annum, with Sir Paul paying for her nanny and her school fees.
