Now that's OK but really was one pop song worth that and should one pop song provide an income for life?
OK he's done a lot before and since and still plays gigs and works hard but the performing rights from a song... are they a measure of worth?

Sure, why not? It's no different than writing a best selling book that continues to sell well year after year (except, of course, pop songs don't take as long to write and probably pay better).
I'm all for creative people making a living from their craft, especially any kind of writer.
