I Can See For Miles And, I'm Sorry, Could You Please Remove Your Hat

With A Song In My Sky
As I have indicated in a certain number of earlier blogs (going back to early 2010), the TV show, "Smallville", which in general has occasionally made inside-references regarding me/my material, has more recently (if early 2010 can be still be considered recent) been focusing more specifically on the songs I did on my "Enough To Eclipse" music CD (copyright June 2005).

I attribute this, at least in part, to the fact that Sean Daniel, the first person from whom I learned of the school I attended (CalArts), produced a movie written by the "Smallville" writers ("Mummy 3"). The person with whom he produced that movie, Jim Jacks, is a Facebook friend, so who knows, this could come from Jim and Sean, then it goes to Steven (Spielberg, an old friend of Sean's), back to "Smallville", over to Paul (McCartney - no time to explain where he fits in), then to Tim (Burton, also interconnected, but then I'd have to bring up the Iranian President), over to "Smallville", then over here. Or whatever. Read my blogs, it all makes sense probably.

And so, as "Smallville" gets ready to say goodbye (sadly.... unless it's all a trick and "Metropolis" begins next season with the same characters?), the series finale being in May, I believe their February 25, 2011 episode made yet another reference to a song on my 2005 "Enough To Eclipse" music CD. My song, "Almost Like Saying Goodbye," can either be heard for free, by going to where it's posted at iSound:

or by paying to hear it, by going to CD Baby:

I find it only fair to forewarn you, it is considered highly unfashionable to actually pay me anything for my creativity. In fact, you needn't even bother listening to it to see my point - the title is enough. Read on.

And here is the videoclip from the 2.25.11 "Smallville", which I believe is consistent with what I've been mentioning in my blogs since early 2010, that they are making inside-references in connection with things on my "Enough To Eclipse" music CD, in this case, my song, "Almost Like Saying Goodbye":



More George Harrison Birthday Thoughts
In my February 25th blog I tried to express that George Harrison, though mainly thought of in connection with Paul, Ringo and John, deserved my vote for also being thought of outside of that company. This was an obvious enough sentiment, highly unoriginal, however, I didn't feel the situation called for wild unpredictability on my part, at least, not right then and there.

And now, I would like to add that one might also think of George Harrison in the company of "The Graduate" and "Raging Bull". (credits: I got this idea from what Steven Spielberg said at the Oscars the night before last.)
