What Do You Mean It's Completely Different?

One of the mainstays of the comment section, LimesNow, had a surprise visitor to her blog today. Here's how it came about. A couple of days ago she had done a post on the late soul great Sam Cooke. Today she decided to do a sequel of sorts about another great, Otis Redding. Either this post or the earlier post attracted the attention of none other than Sam Cooke's nephew, who left a comment. You can read what he said over at Lime's place.

LimesNow is understandably thrilled that someone related to Sam Cooke contacted her blog. Fine, Limes, be thrilled. I'm happy for you. I really am.

But I warn you, Limes, don't let it go to your head. You're not the only one capable of harnessing the power of the Internet. Some of my online musings have created such a tidal wave of interest that you and your visitor are mere drops of morning dew by comparison.

For instance, I once mentioned Monty Python on this blog.

And ended up with a lot of spam.
