With the recent departure of two musical geniuses, The man in Black and Robert Palmer, I was enraged to find, not even a week after they had died, the record company's are already cashing in (No pun intended). I got into my Mom's car to find a compilation of all of Robert Palmers hits. And he isn't even cold! I find it sick, thought not a little supprising that people at Universal Music are doing this. Im a lil pissed!

A week? Oh come on. How long would it take to even produce an album and distribute it? The thing had to have been in the works before they died.

Yeah, but it's pretty amazing how projects like that can get fasttracked when the circumstances are right... probably got stepped up to take advantage of the sentimental buyer.

I guess so, but even then I'm having a hard time getting angry over it. I hope whatever project I'm working on when I die gets fast tracked.
Oh and Robert, did you check the release date on that CD? Just because you found it a week after the guy died doesn't mean your mom didn't buy it the week before, or whatever.

I thought the Palmer CD was already out before he died?
