I borrowed an Elvis CD … and burnt a copy for myself. I have regret.

I don’t think my feet would look pretty in sandals. But, other people can visit your site and buy some, just as long as they come back here and buy my eBook when it’s available.

You could be right. If someone dies, basically, of old age it’s a little less unsettling than someone who dies young.

Like Chris Farley. He was always funny. It was weird when I recently started seeing ads for some movie and there was a guy that looked a lot like him. Turns out it’s his brother Kevin Farley, who was born a year later.

Worse than that is finding out somebody whose work you just discovered is already dead!

I don’t know. But if we are all going into a depression and are going to have to wear the same shoes until we wear the soles out, then you’re going to be barefoot anyway, so just come over to my site and get yourself some barefoot sandals. You may be broke but you can still look pretty.

I really didn’t know who Heath Ledger is/was until he died… This is a weird response I guess, but I think the Heath Ledger incident is kind of gruesome. However if I drove by the video store and they had a sale on Paul Newman flicks or said watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or Butch Cassidy on the marquee - I would think “how nice” and what a nice way to honor his memory then to watch some of his old movies and pop up some of Newman’s own…

I think the circumstances of the death, is what makes it right or wrong.

Last month, I blogged about the death of writer David Foster Wallace. After reading his obituary, I was (and still am) sorry that I had not read his work when he was alive. In the back of my mind, did I hope that some Wallace fans would find the link and visit my blog? Probably, to be honest. I have not checked amazon.com or eBay yet, for some Wallace titles, but only because I have all the reading material I can handle right now.

I hope that his work sells, after his death, for the sake of his wife, who found David Wallace hanging when she came home. Nothing can bring back her husband, but knowing that his work is being appreciated may bring her some comfort. I hope.

Sorry if this is a gruesome response; it’s all I could come up with!
