I haven't seen Joe Jackson's pitch, nor Lou Reed's. Can you help me out by scoring their Moby quotients?

I get 46.12 for Lou Reed. Product = 5 (Gatorade) Sacredness of Song (Walk On the Wild Side) = 7 Origins = 10 Reputation = 7 (too many misses over the years) Wealth = 5 (only one hit single, not many songs covered) Time = 8 My math skills aren't the greatest so someone could doublecheck me or challenge the figures. I have it less of an outrage than Bob Dylan hawking Victoria's Secret which strikes me as correct.

Product 7.5 (Taco Bell) Sacredness of the song 5 ("One More Time") Underground/punk origins 7 Artistic Reputation 8 Artist's Weatlth 3 Time Since Artist's Heyday 7 (80s) Moby Quotient 43.24

I was thinking JJ as closer to a six on the wealth scale. Night and Day sold something like 10 billion copies worldwide. I imagine we can also give a 6.7 to an artist whose heyday is 77-85. Some guys also have an artistic heyday that doesn't well overlap with the commercial heyday. But then we can split the dif.
