Billion Dollar Pop Show mb-code 1239477 Richard Burton contemplates the sceneBillion Dollar Pop Show: It will be TV's greatest ever international pop show. A billion dollars worth of stars lined up at Montreux for the Golden Rose Pop Festival in Switzerland. They each agreed to appear for a fee of 2000, which is usually less than enough to tempt them across the road. But they will certainly get a billion dollars worth of TV time. Picture shows: Adam Ant. May 1984
