They are his to sell... How can that possibly be negative?
Sure...nobody likes to hear thier personal favorite' songs farmed out..but in reality those aren't ours at all..they just represent a particular time-frame in our lives.
But surely they represent his life as well.
It doesn't change thier contribution..the Doors rocked..can't take that away no matter how many songs they license.
If my friends, family and life needed support I would do whatever was needed to make it happen. Geez..Why would I bash on anybody for surviving in this shitty business? Sell my songs?..the ones I wrote and the very ones that have already been diluted and thinned to death by Classic Rock radio for 20 years...?
No brainer.
P&B,
