Rocks, Sun, Etc.

Thick As A Rock
I don't know how they get me to do these things:



I would likely be remiss were I to omit the fact that Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, whose Fallon and SNL appearances are referenced in this videoclip, was a "Third Rock From The Sun" cast member, which starred John Lithgow, whose sister SJ was my best friend's girlfriend when I was in the 9th grade in Princeton, New Jersey (before Lithgow was an actor, though I knew of him as SJ never stopped going on about her brother).


Monday's On The Phone To Sunday
Someone definitely wanted me to think I was seeing Eric Clapton on my way to work Monday, November 30th. It might even have been Clapton, though one doesn't think of him as someone who would wear a cowboy hat. The siting was timed with my return from vacation (visiting with my sister's family in Texas), and it was while on vacation that I spoke with the one person I know who knows the "Clapton girl" I knew at CalArts, as referenced in my April 18, 2009 blog.


That Reminds Me
I don't know whether or not Paul McCartney, who frequently does things apropos of what I do, and Billy Joel, who sat next to me on a plane in 1978 right before I received a letter from McCartney, appeared together in a broadcast Thanksgiving night 2009 in order to make me think of the time I saw Lennon perform with Elton John at the Garden Thanksgiving night 1974 (Lennon's last concert appearance, a surprise appearance I had predicted, which was what prompted me to attend in the first place - this was a month after I had worked for close Lennon friend Howard Smith, his NYC guide as well).
