I swung by Drudge for a quick look at the headlines and saw the name "Kirk Douglas."For some reason, I forgot that Kirk was still around. Shameful, but true. Anyway, here's a line from The Hollywood Reporter that made me smile, and not for political reasons:
THR: Who do you support for president today?
Douglas: I don't say. On my MySpace page, I encourage young people to participate and to study, but I don't want to impose my views on them.
What popped out of my mouth when I read that line was, "Kirk Douglas has a MySpace page?"
Maybe I haven't been giving old folks enough street cred, but when a 91-year-old guy casually refers to his MySpace page, you know that the internet has completely dominated the world of media, information, and identity.
I first signed up for an email address about 11 or 12 years ago. It feels like triple that.
