Ha! I sent that cartoon to a friend of mine last week; he keeps trying to get me on MySpace, and I keep telling him I'm about 25 years too old. (He's about the same age, BTW.) He always responds with, "MySpace is for everybody." Lately I've been saying that not only is it creepy for people our age to hang out there, but isn't the fact that Rupert Murdoch owns it deterrent enough? My friend has no comeback for that.
P.S. Pat, I haven't started blogging again, but I did get roped into Twitter by another friend. It's kind of like a cross between IM and blogging.
I only got on MySpace because it's pretty much required for musicians these days, even for bands with major label deals (too bad it's so fugly and there's practically nothing you can do about it). Still, that cartoon hit awfully close to home.
Twitter sounds kinda fun, from what I've heard. Does it run on your computer or your phone? Or both?
But of course. As in so many things, the rules are different for musicians. ;-)
Twitter is available via web and phone, but being over 40 and thus megaclumsy with the cell phone texting,* I do it via web. I even a have Twitter widget on my MacBookPro. My pseudonym over there is Quisp.
*No offense intended; my age jokes are about myself.
Elle, I'm so sorry I missed your comment for four days. I have a blizzard of spam comments and I missed the one good one.
But of course. As in so many things, the rules are different for musicians. ;-)
Isn't that why people become musicians?

Ooh, I like the idea of a Twitter widget. I'll have to check that out.
*No offense intended; my age jokes are about myself.
None taken. Besides, texting on a cell phone sucks. I'll be really happy when, say, a Bluetooth computer keyboard will talk to my cell phone. Until then, it's just an exercise in frustration (and waiting for the cursor to move).

Hey, Elle, nice to hear from you.
