Ok, man. You're right. I'm wrong. See how far that gets you in life.

Assuming that still holds true is a little naive - as following this theory would infer that he wasn't interested in doing live shows, either. Which, we all know at this point, ain't the case. So, you could be right, if this was still 1985.

And, if I was going to expend the effort obtaining an autograph for resale, I would probably go for someone who doesn't have such a narrow fanbase. I would venture to say that you're not going to retire off what you would sell a Jandek autograph for. Especially when the guy basically gives you an autograph and personal note, whenever you ask him a question.

He's an artist who (until lately, anyway) doesn't want a whole lot to do with his public, but will still have filtered contact with them. If you're going to obsess, I think that is a pretty fun thing to obsess about.I've always been a secret decoder ring kind of guy!
