Found this very interesting article in the NYTIMES..'After Death: The Remix' this morning. Go HERE.
After reading this, I got to thinking, asking myself...'WOW!.... You know maybe some musical artists are just worth more dead than alive. I also thought it's a shame, but humanity can be so needy. Why do they need to make a buck off the dead?
How can we replace anyone? There's only one Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix or John Doe.'
And, then I remembered that a few years ago, I learned that the family of dead musical artist, Bob Marley, had started a family coffee business...they were using Bob Marley's name to sell their products.
I don't know the answer to these questions yet. I will ponder them though....
How can we judge anyone? I am thinking now, that the family and/or business associates of the 'STARS' really do become very dependent on the dead artist. They forget to develope themselves too. They are trapped by their worshiping of the musical artist and counting on them always being there to take care of them.
Isn't that just like all of us who are taught to depend on our husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, jobs, banks, electricity, the rules, religion, governments, etc. and more etc. to make everything just right?
Just wondering? That is all. Jan
