His wasn't exactly the same, cos you couldn't name your own price, but . . .

Getting run down by a car and left in a ditch can have that effect on someone trying to cut out the publisher.
(we'll just disregard the fact that he was hit before he tried to cut them out. It's funnier this way)

wasnt this a movie already though? I remember some writer had a car accident and some crazy women forced him to rewrite a novel she liked (he wrote it) but the ending didnt turn out the way she would of liked. she killed all sorts of people trying to keep him a secret.

Yes. Misery. But the real-life injury came years later when King was jogging down the road and a guy with mental problems . . . can't remember if he was considered mentally retarded or something else . . . anyway, guy was driving down the road in a van and just ran him over, almost killing him. He did not, however, kidnap him afterward and force him to write a novel for him. :)

Just had to say that I did pay 5 pounds for the album and I really love it. Like all Radiohead albums, it takes some listening, especially just to understand what Thom Yorke is saying, but then there's a little click and you get it. And a few of the songs are really incredible right off the bat, especially Bodysnatchers and Faust Arp.
I much prefer songs getting better the more I listen to them than getting that initial poppy high and then getting worse every time, if that makes sense.
Here is an interesting article suggesting that Radiohead have already made millions on this deal and that many other major artists look to be following in their footsteps:
