To add to my previous post, let's just say that I wish the "I don't even know this person" option on Facebook set the quoted text as your relation ship with someone instead of defaulting to declining the request. I have no idea who two thirds of my Facebook friends are.
Yesterday, on the train, I was talking with friends and we ended up chatting with a middle-aged guy who was standing near us; he's a bank manager. Towad the end of the conversation, he mentioned that one of his interns had set him up with Facebook and Myspace accounts as a joke, and that he now has hundreds of friends who he hasn't seen or talked to since high school. My brother responded by saying that people add our band s a friend just because of the name. The response from the guy who we had just met on the train was, "Oh! You guys are Death Penis?! I keep seeing that and wondered who that was!"
At that point I turned to my brother and said, "OK Steve, now that we have name recognition, I think we have some sort of obligation to record and post music worth listening to."
I'm e-famous.
