I believe these are royalties being paid to Steve Martin (LA Films Music seems to be his music company).

#7It'd be useful to know what those are for. I'd be impressed if he's still making that much from "King Tut" (1978).

#8Please please please stop calling it the music business. Music/Movies/Games are not all seperate businesses. They all fall into the category of entertainment. They are in the entertainment business and their competitors are more then just pirates, its everything else out there trying to get your time.

...which won a Grammy last year for "Best Bluegrass Album", and for which he is actively touring right now.
So, yeah, his point is "here are the royalty riches you can expect when you make an award winning album and drag yourself all over the country promoting it."
Kind of explains the whole "Pink Panther 2" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" things.
