[..Ñøßߥ..]

There you have it folks, Sony redefining the word "Greed" and showing us that the record industries morals were not, as previously thought, as low as they could go!

everyone knows the art is worth more after the artist is dead

...tho for the life of me i still cant think of any music this person has made... internet has been saying 'RIP Whitney Houston' yet im still scratching my head thinking 'who??'

i looked her up... never saw 'the bodyguard' (didnt even know the plot till i read it on the wikipedia) ... only song i recognize is the dolly pardon cover of 'i will always love you' which uses that 'melisma' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melisma style of singing that i cant stand... ...from what i gather she was mostly on the radio (which i dont listen to) and movies that ive not heard of or have never seen...

not speaking ill of the dead... just didnt know who this person was...

She's never been my cuppa tea...  i think Aunty Dionne probably had a big hand in her rise to fame..  whatever the case, its always unsettling to see the record labels cashing in.  Shameful but fully to be expected.
