For example, I was just watching a bunch of Cee-Lo videos, and the Cee-Lo in this video would make an excellent detective. Or the hero of my next romance novel.
And every time Prince does something batshit crazy I think: You can't write this stuff! His latest: He's not letting The Time perform under that name anymore, because he owns it. They've renamed themselves The Original 7ven.
Of course, I've also always wanted to write a romance with Morris Day as the hero. "Why don't you stay awhile? See how it's done!"
Lately Prince has been making comments about how people don't know that HE wrote songs like "Nothing Compares 2 U." He's being all pissy about any song that's ever been recorded by another band. What a hi-lar-ious dude. So needs to be a side character.
So how do these "would make a great story/character" flashes present themselves to you?

You can not have Cee Lo!!!!! I saw him first. : ) I love his personality, his quips. That crazy white cat. He named it Purrfect. How awesome is that? And what about the red silk pajamas? Hah.
I've always known he wrote that song. I love the way Sinead O'Connor did it. I had that cassette tape and I played it unnaturally often for too long a time.
I can't envision me writing any of them as characters but I'd love to read the book where you do.
@Simone - It's a classic.
@Robena - What's with you possessive women! Just last week Ms Brownlow told me I couldn't have Inspector Foyle. Shaaaaare.
@JJJ - I think the big hits he wrote (Manic Monday, Nothing Compares) it was pretty common knowledge he wrote them. He's just nuts. But I lobes him.
I would love to read a story with these characters. Could be awesome.
