Gord Downie released a new album today. What a masterful exhibition of marketing skill! While many of the world's richest celebrities are, in fact, dead celebrities, most of these dead celebrities were not in a position to predict their impending demise. Elvis was unable to foresee that he would choke on his own vomit from a drug overdose, and he's the richest of a very sorry lot.

Not so for Gord. He (unfortunately) had ample time to plan and pander to his audience. So...drink the Kool-Aid, rush forward with haggard eyes, sheep, and be fleeced. Baaaah!
