EPILOGUE–HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE
Thursday, July 31st, 2008The first draft of this fact based
novel was written last century: 1996-1997. The working title was HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE. A recent knee replacement surgery on May 7 was
the inspiration to rework the story since joint replacements were an early
necessity for hemophiliacs. Many of the
names used in the story are actual names of real people. Some names are fictional as are some of the
situations. The same 15 minute
documentary A DROP OF BLOOD could be
done for a fraction of the price today with digital video cameras and PC
editing capability. The research would
also be much easier because of the internet. Distribution, because of broadband
would also be much simplified–You Tube is a contemporary fact of life. Somebody may even be able to make the story a
pure fictional piece but this is the age of reality. The documentary A DROP OF BLOOD can be viewed at http://www.mayopia.com/ or
Don’t be greedy and have fun. Improve the society in which we co-exist with
a camera. There are many people with many stories and too many drug dealers on
too many corners. In America when you
are in a public place there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. The government and security cameras shouldn’t
be the only videographers on poles. It is a “Brave New World”. We should be
watching the people watching us. As a group from the last century Sly and the
Family Stone said, “EVERYBODY IS A STAR”.
Act
right—you’re on camera. Art is
everywhere.
This
draft of “HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE” begins
on June 7th 2008 through the end of July at http://www.tai-chi-one/BLOGCHI. We will attempt to rework the 100,000 word
fact based novel in the very near future and publish as a book. After all is
said and done and written we do have to make money to live and work.
