Neil Young Sells Catalog Rights to Merck Mercuriadis’s Hipgnosis – Rolling Stone

Neil Young has sold 50 percent of the worldwide copyright and income interests in his 1,180 song catalogue to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited, the U.K. investment firm founded by manager-turned-investor Merck Mercuriadis. The move comes days after Hipgnosis, which has spent the last year snapping up music catalogs left and right, announced it had acquired 100% of Lindsey Buckingham’s publishings rights as well as Jimmy Iovine’s producing royalties. “I bought my first Neil Young album aged seven,” Mercuriadis said in a statement. “Harvest was my companion and I know every note, every word, every pause and silence intimately. Neil Young, or at least his music, has been my friend and constant ever since. Over the last 50 years that friendship took me back to Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Still...

Get informed: Duke doctor with history of severe allergies gets COVID-19 vaccine – WTVD-TV

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Duke doctor with a history of severe allergies who recently received her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, is urging people like her to do their research and talk with their physician about getting vaccinated. Dr. Leonor Corsino, an endocrinologist and Assoc. Prof. of Medicine at Duke, told ABC11 she did her research before choosing to get vaccinated and found the benefits far outweighed the risks. "There are many reasons why," she said. "One is obviously because I wanted to be vaccinated to protect myself and protect my patients." Many of the patients Corsino treats on a weekly basis have diabetes and are at a higher risk of severe illness if they contract the virus. "Second, I do believe in vaccination," said Corsino. "I've always received all my vacci...
