That's interesting. And way longer than I thought!

This is probably flammable material, but I personally have a bit of an issue with people profiting post-humously from artists. I think it (music et al) should become public domain upon their death. I don't really like the idea of Sony cashing in on Hendrix, for example. Or what's going on with Zappa's stuff.

But then, why shouldn't the rest of the 'Experience crew benefit from those old recordings? They were part of it after all.

Hmm... I think it's too deep for me.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
