is hugh on this tour??

Yeah, but it's still probably a lot.

I wonder how much less he makes than Dave and Tico. I mean it's probably none of our business but I don't think it'd be THAT far off considering Dave and Tico don't contribute much writing-wise.

I bet it's significantly less. He gets paid as a session musician, some fixed rate. Dave and Tico, even if they're only Jon's employees, are still members of the band, etc etc. They must make a significant share (i would say 10% each, just as a gut feeling). Hugh will never make anywhere near. Maybe something like 20-50k /gig. That's why I think it's also Dave, Tico and Richie who don't want Hugh to be an official member. How else could they justify not ever paying him anything close to what they get?

20 to 50k per show did you say? in US dollars or what? That's an insane amount. Obviously not when you compare it to JBJ's salary but shit! let's all go do some odd jobs for the band and get better money than our 9 to 5's...
