Life After Dateline

Do any of my readers watch Dateline? Why are you here? If I remember correctly, that program has been on my case since I first shared Preteen Queen in 2007, a harmless ditty meant to make the younger girls feel included, in the same spirit as Babydoll. I took it down because I seem to be the only one who hears it as an innocent song. And if they knew that song, it may have been from seeing it in my original post of The Show Must Continue, which was then, as it is now, linked to many of my songs. In early November 2007, shortly after I freely decided to quit online posting and to erase my work, I stumbled on a clip of a musician who looked my age being interviewed on Dateline. I would never want to be on Dateline. And is that fellow still with us? That was around the time Dateline told everyone to worship Tina Fey. Did I inadvertently release Tina Fey from jail by erasing my blogs when they told you to worship her? Then, when they punished her last year, they said Tina Fey worshiped me. Yeah, that's some worship: stealing my words and telling the whole world that I sock. But if they tell you I'm her idol, I look responsible for her crimes. Maybe this 'worship' of me, as they put it to you, was part of why they punished her behind my back with those original posts of mine for which my lawyers and I have been digging since February. Not once have they contacted me, but I hear about shows which were entirely built around me. Doesn't that give the impression that I belong to those ladies? If it does, it's a false and misleading impression. What has become of anyone who sits in my place on that show and lets the world mistake them for being me? Did they walk into a trap? What did people expect when they put an unemployed man from the wrong side of town on trial against popular stars? Did record-breaking numbers of viewers tune in to see me get burned at the stake? I've had it with that show. That's the only show anyone thinks they've seen me on and I've never been on it. Meanwhile, others steal my songs and writings and get on Saturday Night Live and MTV. Dateline only ever seems to want to interfere with my success, no matter how much pleasure my work has given my readers and listeners over the years. And they seem to be the most damaging when you think they are helping me. I hope my lawyers are reading this.
