          <body><![CDATA[I do. Speaking to JK and music, here, coincidentally, is a note a friend sent me last night: &quot;Thought I'd pass along a great musical tip. Not sure if you've had a chance to hear Jay Farrar/Ben Gibbards soundtrack to the Kerouac documentary, but it's amazing. Like Tweedy/Bragg's work with Guthrie prose, they do likewise with Kerouac. The result is great. Check it out if you haven't heard it yet. Basically, all lyrics are taken from the novel Big Sur.&quot; ]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[David, I wasn't trying to apply logic to the topic.  I'm as clueless as the next person when it comes to knowing how all this will shake out.  I was simply reporting some recent developments that have shed light on some of the issues facing authors, booksellers, book-buyers, etc. The process you describe is a viable and encouraging model for many writers, emerging and otherwise. For others, not so much. It will be interesting to see how many models will come out of this, as well as how some of the other questions posed above might be answered.  Cheers, Jim]]></body>
