OK, Now … What?

This whole Bon Iver thing is off the hook. Off the chain. Off the tracks. It’s a runaway train, never comin’ back. This is all awesome, of course, but just crazy. The latest spoonful of crazy to be added to the pile is an eBay auction for a copy of our Dec. 4 issue featuring an interview with Justin Vernon. The auction item is titled “Volume 1 Back Issue: Bon Iver Exclusive Interview.”

So far there ain’t no bids. No big surprise there, but the fact that someone is actually trying to make some peripheral money of Vernon’s fame is pretty nuts. It’s not even a signed copy. It’s not even a rare copy. And the article is online.

Just weird.
