   Yes, I thought that was very crass. It's as if he NEVER lived. Sad.

   Yes, again not very kind (to Walter). It's almost as if HIS music 
was used to accentuate THEIR stature in the music world. (PLUS, they 
don't have to pay anyone)

>It shows they did not do their homework ,,,

   Well, I believe that even though some of these people have the 
"Big" name or happen to belong to the "In" crowd, this doesn't mean 
that they are omnipotent. I feel the same about people who write 
books. They are mostly going on research. This is why one must be 
careful of legends and those whom speaketh them.
