well, there's all the off beat people who contribute to this list..........

Celebrity doesn't bestow relevance, however I'm not saying that those people
shouldn't contribute. I'm against the cult of celebrity (that's the thing
that bothers me about the book, I realize, the celebrity worship that it
implies), against the idea that anything celebrities say is worthy of
publication, because it's usually not. I think that if anyone out there
has something to say, they will say it, and it shouldn't matter if they're
famous. Do what you may, it's your book, I've had my two cents. Scottie
would be the best contributor, Eddie Vedder be damned!

p.s. I doubt I've swayed you, so I'll pass along the information that the
members of the junk rock band "The Stewarts" are HUGE jds fans. If you'd
like me to have them get in touch with you I can arrange it.

Ok, send em to me. Any famous person's name, no matter how far-fetched, who
might be a good contributor for my book.

For instance:

Green Day and Pearl Jam are reportedly big JDS fans
So is Wynona Ryder
Patricia Arquette sent Nic Cage on a knight's errand to find her an
autographed copy of CITR (which he did, who knows how)

These folks would be great contributors. Who else do you know of???

Thanks!
