Depressing news

Forbes has listed Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain as the top-earning dead celebrity. The list said that grunge rocker Cobain earned $50 million between October 2005 and October 2006. The dollar amounts are based on licensing deals for using the deceased celebrities' work or image in advertising or elsewhere. I don't know what is more depressing; that a dead man earn more than I do or that a great artist like Cobain is being sold down the material path...the same money path he would never be caught in if he was alive. It's just sad.
