Thinking about Scott's legacy and the pretty extensive collection of recorded work he left behind.
I hope one day his work is rediscovered by future generations, ala Jim Morrison. I don't even know if that's a real possibility with the way rock sales have diminished over the years.
I've always hated the "derivative" tag that critics placed on STP and how Scott's drug use always became a punch-line that overshadowed the band's great music, right down to the very end...on that last tour with the Wildabouts.
Not that I'm looking to water-down the brand with an unnecessary cash-grab release, but I'm surprised there's been no real talk about any posthumous releases. I know there was talk about the Wondergirls material, but...
And I'm sure Scott ran the gamut of working with different artists on different labels, which probably lends itself to a lot of red-tape when trying to compile material.
I just really hope that Mary, or whoever is entrusted with his estate, handles his legacy with great care.
He was a true artist in every aspect.
I love what STP did with the Core reissue. Despite having Jeff on board right now, I hope they continue and follow thru with 25th anniversary releases of ALL their albums, not just the first/big two.
