This will definitely be discussed at our family gathering over the weekend. Anyone else?
I'm making no claims for WDDD, just merely pointing out that David Bowie stacks up better to Elvis than many realize, in response to cadillacdave's comment. (Post 44777) Please refer back to PR's and tweets for any breadcrumbs pointing to monetization.
David Bowie & the Booming Business of Music Publishing Rights
Jan 09, 2022
Legacy rock acts are generating millions by selling off their back catalogs. So, why is the music publishing business so scorching now — and what will it look like in years to come?
Last week, Warner Chappell Music Group acquired the global publishing rights to David Bowie’s back catalogs.
Spanning six decades of songwriting and 26 studio albums, the catalog was said to be worth $250 million

According to new research by Casino Grounds, David Bowie has topped the likes of Elvis Presley, Prince and John Lennon as the most listened to dead rock star on Spotify. The Ziggy Stardust legend who died in 2016, has 15,589,440 monthly listeners on the music streaming service.

PSA I just got word that my in-law's widowed mother lost "all her savings" yesterday via someone posing very convincingly online as IT. Details are sketchy as this is 3rd hand info. She had a substantial nest egg, possibly in the 2-comma club. Knowledge is power. If I save just one person from being a victim this post was worth it.

Great ideas L4BC. Maybe at this stage Fiverr or Freelancer to get some projects done?
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. There was no impact in adopting ASC 606 as the Company has no revenue at this time. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to MariMed Inc. The Company’s sources of revenue after the spinoff was expected to be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. Commencing in the first half of 2022, the Company expects that its revenues will come from its expansion of its legacy celebrity worlds and its collection of non-fungible tokens. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

I agree the future is looking forward but we do have something other than nothing to claim as a foundation of sorts to begin our forward journey. I'm not willing to throw away our valuable history. The key will be in the execution going forward. That's still the big unknown.

Thank you Thom for listening to my CTA! And wisely avoiding $DWAC.
There's something to be said about being first to market. However, we've obviously been trumped by execution from other companies. Mentioning our early successes gives us credibility from a marketing standpoint while we refocus on executing a new plan. We should be mentioned in Wikipedia under metaverse as the first metaverse, but sadly we are not. That privilege goes to Linden Labs for 2003 Second Life:

LET’S DANCE! Fabulous BOWIE BALL line-up confirmed and thin white duke-inspired artist’s ceramic tributes arrive at the first DAVID BOWIE WORLD FAN CONVENTION

Kaleidoscopic experience of Bowie-influenced performers and forensically-constructed musical tributes form inaugural convention’s Bowie Ball in association with Worlds Inc. Bowie World
Unrivalled line-up of guests, including Bowie’s closest musical confidantes, with Bowie-inspired artists and world-leading photographers
DAVID BOWIE GLAMOUR FANZINE & SOUND CITY PRESENT DAVID BOWIE WORLD FAN CONVENTION, FRI 17 - SUN 19 JUNE 2022
Limited remaining tickets on sale NOW via https://bowieconvention.com
LIVERPOOL AND BOSTON, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- No less understated than Ziggy Stardust himself or lacking any of the charismatic camp of Scary Monsters-era Bowie, the line-up for the hotly-anticipated, unashamedly celebratory Bowie Ball in association with Worlds Inc. (OTCQB: WDDD) Bowie World, at the first ever David Bowie World Fan Convention has been announced. The elaborate, carefully-curated centrepiece of the first fan-gathering of its kind takes place at Liverpool’s Mountford Hall during the city-wide weekend events spanning Fri 17 – Sun 19 June 2022.
With fans and guests flying in from all corners of the globe and each encouraged to outdo each other in the costume-stakes, the chance to dress up and freak out to the sights and sounds associated with Bowie for one incredible night of reverie and revelry at the Bowie Ball will see nothing held back. Keeping the ball bouncing will be just-announced compere Jonny Woo, the Bowie-classic-singing drag artist and owner of world-famous, London LGBTQ+ venue The Glory, plus a founding member of Glastonbury's drag scene at NYC Downlow.
Appropriately taking the non-literal route to paying tribute to the 20th Century’s most unconventional pop star, the convention welcomes hula-hoop artist Natasha Moonshine, dancer and performance artist Joshua Hubbard, never-understated performance artist Pretentious Dross and Liverpool’s incomparably exhilarating Eat Me Club to set an impossibly glamorous scene. The layers of immaculately-applied make-up will dazzle in equal measure to the layers of Bowie’s chameleonic artistry referenced in each, specially-devised performance.
Joining in the celebrations, Bowie World is announced as sponsor of the centrepiece Bowie Ball. Worlds Inc. worked directly with Bowie himself and Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, to create the first ever celebrity virtual reality space in 1998, the same year as Bowienet. Designed by Bowie as an online space where fans and Bowie could interact with each other and experience Bowie’s art and music, it is still live today in its original format and is the oldest continuously running metaverse. Worlds Inc., and Bowie World will soon announce a new initiative to coincide with the convention, as well as collaborate on event designs, projections and exclusive social media content.
“In honour of David's 75th birthday and the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust, we are excited to sponsor the Bowie Ball and place a spotlight on how David was such a visionary in furthering music and fan engagement via technology,” says Thom Kidrin, CEO of World’s Inc. and Bowie World co-creator. “In this milestone year we will introduce initiatives to allow fans to utilise today’s advanced technology (which David would certainly be embracing) to experience and capture David’s excitement and foresight, just as he was helping to shape the future of the music and entertainment industry over 20 years ago.”
Sensitively stewarded by the partnership of Liverpool’s Sound City annual music festival and the passion behind the best-selling David Bowie Glamour fanzine, hand-picked musical accompaniments are also confirmed, first with internationally-touring, career-spanning, six-strong tribute experience, Rebel Heroes. Sliding in alongside the live and loud music are party-starting specialist DJs TheMenWhoFell2Earth and Sonic Yootha, both digging deep into the much-missed musical hero’s back-catalogue, the hits of associated artists and tasty, Bowie-related tangents to tempt ticket-holders onto the dancefloor.
Amongst the most striking additions to the convention line-up away from the glitter of the ballroom is Italian ceramic artist Maria Primolan and her sculptures of Bowie’s instantly-recognisable likenesses during distinct periods of his shape-shifting career. Using a breadth of sculptural and ceramic-firing methods, Primolan’s practice has been devoted to Bowie’s image. Primolan will visit Liverpool to show her latest work, from delicately coloured panels detailing Bowie’s powder-faced, Ashes to Ashes clown persona to 3D busts of the head-of-curls and beret-clad The Man Who Sold The World-era. Also exhibiting will be painter Shaun Lowndes who’s vivid, comic-book surrealism has earned critical and public acclaim.
Amongst those who knew David Bowie, few knew him on as many levels as drummer John Cambridge, whose attendance at the convention has been confirmed. Whilst being on hand at key life events, including Bowie passing his driving test, it was also on the musical front, introducing Bowie to Spiders From Mars guitar legend Mick Ronson and drumming on 1969’s Space Oddity album, that Cambridge made huge contributions. He visits Liverpool amongst an enviable line-up of authors after publishing his own autobiography, Bowie, Cambo and All The Hype.
Many of the most influential image-makers from throughout Bowie’s career will be present, in person or through their iconic images, over the weekend. Just added is Tim Bret-Day, whose elaborate work across fashion and music included the artwork and promotional imagery for Bowie’s 1999 album …hours. The range of shots taken included an inner-sleeve shot that required a dummy of Bowie himself to be produced before being set alight. Bret-Day will arrive with limited edition prints and answers to fans’ questions.
After it was announced last year that Liverpool, UK would be host to the first globally-significant fan convention of its kind, the high-profile names first revealed to be in attendance included guitarist, Carlos Alomar and his wife, singer with both Bowie and Chic, Robin Clark; bassist, Gail Ann Dorsey and the last surviving Spider From Mars, drummer Woody Woodmansey. Having collaborated on Bowie’s final album, Blackstar, saxophonist Donny McCaslin attends with special perspectives on the icon’s creative drive as time appeared to be running out.
Represented amongst the great Bowie image makers is Brian Duffy of the Aladdin Sane lightning flash fame, via The Duffy Archive. As Bowie’s official photographer on his 1983 Serious Moonlight world tour, just one of his official engagements with the artist and friend, Denis O’Regan appears in Liverpool having witnessed many sides of the man at work and play. Philippe Auliac’s 30-plus year professional and personal relationship with Bowie from behind-the-lens, starting in 1976, will also be represented by Auliac in-person and numerous famous and rarely-seen examples of his work.
Working with Bowie from 2002’s Heathen album, through the closely-guarded, surprise release of 2013’s The Next Day and onto the intricately packaged final album Blackstar in 2016, graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook will talk about what it took to make Bowie’s visual ideas a reality. Amongst the influential authors to have added their words to exploring the enigma, author of The Complete David Bowie, Nicholas Pegg and writer of Any Day Now: David Bowie The London Years (1947-1974) Kevin Cann are on hand to take fans into the depths of the artist’s professional life over half a century. Cann also worked as a creative assistant on Bowie’s first solo art exhibition, held in Cork Street, London in 1995.
The David Bowie World Fan Convention brings Bowie’s story back to a city in which the artist played numerous times at different stages of his career, starting on Sat 8 April 1967 with The Riot Squad, performing on board Liverpool’s famous Royal Iris, a ferry that ran regular music cruises up the River Mersey. Bowie’s last appearance in Liverpool was on Sat 2 Aug 1997, with the arena-filling icon performing for a relatively intimate crowd of 2,000 people at the Royal Court Theatre.

Launched in January 2017 with a focus on top quality design and content from the highest profile David Bowie figures, lavishly illustrated and with a focus on fans and fandom, David Bowie Glamour fanzine is now established as the blueprint for 21st century fanzines.

About Bowie World
Bowie World, the world’s first celebrity-themed 3-D interactive virtual world and the longest continuously operating virtual world, was created in 1999 by David Bowie, his son Duncan Jones and the Worlds Inc. (OTCQB: WDDD) development team headed by CEO Thom Kidrin. David Bowie melded the cutting edge of technology, music and the Internet in Bowie World to allow his fans to explore a fantasy world replete with his art and music, while interacting with fellow fans and David himself, whose Avatar was the Minotaur. Bowie World debuted to much fanfare by media such as Yahoo! Internet Life, which lauded it as a gamechanger and bundled it in 240,000 copies of a special free CD with Bowie Net (David’s personal ISP) and an unreleased video and soundtrack by Bowie developed by UltraStar and Yahoo! Internet Life. Bowie World is still live in its original vintage format and is accessible via PC at http://www.bowieworlds.com/

Polymer solid state battery. Probably the only connection to LWLG is the material also being a polymer. Would anyone care to explain how a polymer solid state battery would work, or what the polymer properties might be? BTW $MULN is on fire, too.
