If he really feels that way, give the $$$ from it to charity – instead of bitching about the record company and accepting their so-called “hand-outs”.

The record company probably kept most of the money. Low overhead, big profit.

C’mon Augie.. you really think at this point in his career that Tim McGraw is making a mere sixpence for this thing? Nothing is stopping him from doing new material – and this collection not only is FOUND money for him, but also helps draw new fans in and expand his fanbase – who’ll use it as an intro. to his material.
If he’s that unhappy, do what Alan Moore is doing with money he would have gotten from the Watchmen film – give it to people who worked on it with him. Then again, the money he would have gotten from that pales compared to the payday he’ll get from Warner reprinting the Watchmen tpb one million times in preperation of demand from the movie.
