A descendant and benefactor of the composer George Gershwin who died July 11, 1937 at the age of 38, leaving no heirs, his estate passing to his mother. A Gershwin is someone who has never had to work to earn their living but lives a luxurious and entitled lifestyle is primarily dependent upon an inherited trust fund established from royalty payments received for the musical compositions of his long dead great-great-great- grand
uncle. A Gershwin can typically be found at a country club or a Paul
Simon concert thumbing his
nose at the regular working
people and ranting about how easy everyones
job is. Although the Gershwin has had the great fortune to live an affluent and priveledged lifestyle through no work or effort of his own, as a rule he does not tip anyone under any cirrcumstances. This is probaby because he is well aware of the fact that sooner than later the royalties will expire, the royalty payments will end along with his gravey
train champagne and caviar lifestyle. To postpone having to working to earn his living, a Gershwin typicaly holds
tight every penny and typically spends most of his time trying to lobby
Congress to pass another copyright extension act and brainstorming ways to sue
music companies for any feasable royalty contract infringements.
