Neither Here But Not Neither There

Knowing that there are people out there diligently connecting the dots, joining together in holy fact the multitudinous fragments of information that belong together, I will try to let this week's videoclips stand alone, without prefacing with further explanation. Surely these videoclips can withstand the hit-and-run soundbite seekers who won't be bothered with the hours of laborious research each moment of the videoclips requires. Plus, as part of my ongoing dream to create things that are self-contained, I've already permeated these videoclips not just with video to watch but with words to read, all within the videoclip. A real multi-media hodgepodge.

Let them stand alone. For example, with the Clapton clip, I don't need to be reminding anyone that the referenced Harrison song is on an album containing a set of things that started with me, beginning with the album title (or for that matter, that there are no small number of significant OTHER things regarding significant OTHER Beatles that also started with me). I don't need to bring up, that a TV show referenced in that Clapton clip, "The Office", has done things Steinhoff-related a number of times in the past, or that Stuart Cornfeld, the producer of Office's Jenna Fischer's movie, "Blades of Glory", has come up now and then in my blogs. Or that the former NBC lead-in show to "The Office", "My Name Is Earl", was first created by me/then sent in 2002 to Sean Daniel, producer of "Earl" star Jason Lee's first big movie, "Mallrats", titled after my "Mall Man".

This information, as well as the innumerable other pieces of relevant information, are already there in past blogs and elsewhere (here and there) for the motivated to fuse, and for the rest to ignore/or whatever. I would prefer that the enlightening, substantiating details weren't so scattered around - but I'm only here to report, not to make anyone add 2+2 multiplied by the square root of every third variable.
