Lizzie: So many MySpace stories to tell. I met the guy who was the screenwriter for The Godfather. Met a famous "presenter", as you like to say in the UK. She was on a well known TV show, and at first, I thought it was somebody pretending to be her, but subsequent emails proved, that it was, in fact, her, via photos & her website. I met Chris Montez, my childhood/teen idol with the major hit, "Let's Dance," which I must have sung a zillion times...LOL The one that sticks with me are the mothers of children who had died, asking if they could "friend" me after hearing "The Ghost of Elvis." I had taken MySpace seriously. In the early days, it was common to hear, "what's your MySpace?," among musicians & industry people. I used it as a reference point to contact music supervisors and the like. OMG This brings back the memory of a British conductor, who had heard my songs, and I must say, GRACIOUSLY told me that he would keep me in mind for projects. So far, nothing has worked to contact Myspace. The address bar is acting differently from day to day, the blue line goes just past "bob" and then skips to the middle of my last name, as if it were trying to connect, but was being blocked (best guess)... There were some SERIOUS people, with high-end sites on there, major acts from Nashville, etc. I wonder what they are doing? I'll be watching for the majors for any litigation action. I know a lot of people were hurt by MySpace. And it mystifies me how an entity can be worth multimillions in one year, then become nearly invisible in the next....BR
