Quick Take (Summary)
Corporate vultures and capitalist machinery spare not even the sacred realm of music, turning genuine expressions of life and struggle into commodities. Every artist's passing becomes a spectacle, milked for nostalgia and profit, while ignoring the true essence of their resistance and the roots embedded in the struggles of the oppressed. This is a stark reminder that in a capitalist society, not even our grief is safe from being monetized.
