The Mirror That Looked At Itself
On July 19, I did a blog piece about "The Big Top," a popular circus show that ran on CBS for a bunch of years. I'm not sure why I happened across it, but most likely I was trying to get an idea for my weekly newspaper column. It didn't work, so I used it here; why waste a perfectly good idea?
Ok, so we flip ahead to August 3 and I'm sitting here, desperate for an idea for my newspaper column. The clock is ticking away; I'm way over deadline and I start thinking, "Hey -- how about that circus thing on my blog? I write about old music and that's old tv; it had a band, so it kinda fits what I do." So one cut & paste later, I have 2/3 of a column, which I fill out by running the bandleader's name on a search engine ("Google" is a trademarked name and not a verb, by the way) and mentioning his work from the 1920's through the 1940's.
So we go from failed newspaper column to blog piece to successful newspaper column to a second blog piece. A mirror that looks at itself should go to infinity, but I just don't have the time and/or energy for that kind of thing.
Could a circus television show ever imagine that it would have taken such a circuitous route nearly fifty years later? Or even be remembered? Be careful what you do; half a century later, someone might blog about you.
