Mmm, it's a hard call to make. I think that he'd be less popular than he is now, if he didn't die but disappeared off the face of the Earth. But he'd be more popular than he is now if he stayed alive and wrote more material. Still, it's just speculation.

I'm keen to check out Vashti Bunyan - I'm going back home today, so I'll be able to download some. :p
