So here's my idea

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?
