Blogging like It's 2029

So Prince is a genius. He releases an album on October 27, 1982 he post-dates the title track: 1999. He makes money the first time around and he makes money 17 years later, when 1999 rolls around.

Ditto George Orwell. He writes a book, post-dates it: 1984. Only one mistake there: he was dead by 1984.

Memo to all aspiring song-writers and authors: if you're going to write something, be sure to post-date it. But make sure it's a reasonable bet that you're still alive by then so that you can cash in on the goods.

I think I'm going to start post-dating all my blog posts from here on out.
