I wonder about Taylor. Maybe he got paid big time last year and for the Exile re issue including Plundered. He lives in some small shaggy apt. right?
That's a strange way to describe a house in the country...

Check your tone.
Then why did Mick Taylor go to the expense of suing the other Stones over his guitar work that "surfaced" on TATTOO YOU ten years after he played it? And on only two songs on the album (Tops and Waiting on a Friend). In the Discography section of ACCORDING TO THE ROLLING STONES under Tattoo You, when listing the personnel on the album, after Mick Taylor's name the other Stones irreverently put: "(legal action!!)" (p. 352.)Quote

I know Taylor didn't get composing credits, but he does get performer's royalties for his Stones tunes. If my co-worker and her former husband were living comfortably off this oldie from the 50's, Mick T. must have a decent—if not princely—income.
It is worth noting that the cheques from Performing Rights Societies (a system of European origin) amount to very little unless you have an official writer's credit on a major hit.
In US the non-composers (performing artists) were never entitled to any payments for public performance of their sound recordings. In other words, the authors would receive royalties when their songs got played on the radio, but not the other bandmembers.
SoundExchange is beginning to include the non-composers too but they base their calculations on digital transmissions only. So terrestrial radio in US does not result in any $$ for composers, musicians or performing artists. Satellite radio broadcast is charged at a lower rate than internet radio.
So I'm afraid your conclusion was inaccurate.

Yes, but he has a wealth of memories....if he can remember them.

The section labeled "Performers' Right" here [www.venturenavigator.co.uk] suggests Mick had good reason to sue.
Even Pete Best ended up a multimillionaire after finally appearing on some BEATLES ANTHOLOGY songs.

It is a ridiculous question.
