IDEA Barrage: Let's beat Phillip Glass to this one!

Dear Idea Barrage. I know I'm one of your biggest contributors but hold onto your socks, this one is a doozie. BIG! It'll shake the foundations of contemporary pop-culture and resucitate a dying art form while single-handedly destroying the incentive to commit white-collar crime. What am I talking about? An opera about ENRON. Don't try and tell me only accountants would go see that. YOU ARE WRONG! You want proof? How about when towards the end of the fourth act our hero asks: Have you seen my marbles?

Tom Waits will write the libretto. nicE will be the American Indian on a horse. Don't worry I have parts for the rest of you too. Even 5jl!
