With Kate McGarrigle's death, her music's been selling well. And I'm sure we'll get an upswing of JD Salinger sales in the next couple weeks.But it seems a little sad for authors to get a sales hit when they die! Here's what we need to do...
- put together a database of all reasonably successful artists (the kind who get news coverage when they die)
- put it in a computer, and have a randomly generated "winner" every month
- and then all media outlets in the world will agree to talk about, and do shows on, that one artist
- then we'll all get exposed to someone awesome without them having to die first.
Sound good?

Or... Artists get together with your system, but draw to see who will fake their own death each month!
