Hang on
.Ive just read a portion of the proceeds will go to MusiCares
If Mick is in need of money Christine and John should help him out.
Would they have been so rich and famous without him? I doubt it.

I dont think anyone is disputing their right to sell what is theirs. They are getting old and these treasures need to find a good home. The issue that I and others have is the disguise of a rock star auction. Clearly they could put on twitter or Ebay any item they want and sell whatever they want. They wont even reveal what percentage is for charity. Most rock stars have auctions all the time and 100% of the proceeds go to a charity. But not this group. Its fine to profit off a sale of what is yours but don't use the rock star auction route as a disguise for your profit. There is a reason Stevie and Lindsey said NO WAY. I like others believe this was Mick's idea and he persuaded Chris and John to go along. Like Stevie's tour cut percentage, we may never know the cut that goes to charity but I am waging 10%.
