I couldn't find the original thread regarding this topic, but I thought this was an interesting news item that was relevant.

Willie Nelson opened his concert at
Phoenix's Celebrity Theatre this week
by singing, "Whiskey river take my
mind," but someone decided to take
something else from the Texas
troubadour.

An 8-foot inflatable bottle valued at
$2,000, set up to promote Nelson's
Old Whiskey River bourbon, was
stolen at the show.

"We didn't think anyone would have
the audacity to walk away with it. It's
not like you can hide it under your
coat," said Melanie Wicker, promotions
director for Old Whiskey River.

Nelson is offering an autographed
guitar for information leading to the return of the bottle, Wicker said. (A guitar autographed
by Nelson and auctioned for charity at Sunday's concert drew a $6,500 bid.)
Anyone with information may send e-mail to info@oldwhiskey river.com.

Damn I wish I could put my signature on something and make money.

I could probably put my name on a chunk of gold and have it';s value reduced to nothing .
