I mentioned in my "Pigeons!" blog entry that Greg Magnuson was on "Deal or No Deal" last week. Well, since then, I've discovered an acquaintance I've played a show or two with has been a contributing performer on the score for the TV series "Battlestar Galactica" (One of the 2 shows I watch) and an ex-girlfriend of mine has appeared in the magazine "Jane". Another ex-girlfriend of mine is preparing to record an album with Cyndi Lauper's band backing her up. I don't have that many ex-girlfriends, either. And finally, I've recently learned that an old college friend, Tim Pratt, has been nominated for a Hugo Award! This has gotten me thinking about the famous Andy Warhol quote about everyone having their 15 minutes of fame. I wonder if I've had mine yet? I've appeared on the front page of the newspaper in Greensboro, NC. Twice. Does that count? (One of the times was actually the front page of the "Living" section in the big Sunday edition). I was on national TV, myself, for around 1 second, when I attended a taping of the old "Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn" (With one of the aforementioned ex-girlfriends, no less). Does that mean I still have another 14:59 coming? Famous people have watched me perform. Did that use up my remaining fame time? I have never seen Motley Crue or Pink perform, and yet Tommy Lee and Pink have seen one of my performances in it's entirety. How many people can say something like that? Does that count as fame? I'm hoping my regular reader and commentator, Danielle, will share her opinion on this matter, because she's had multiple hours of fame, which should make her an expert on this (see this for more info). If any of you that happen to be reading this have a "15 minutes of fame" story to share, leave it as a comment. I'd love to hear it.
