30th
Just friends — and please stop calling!
I was scanning cyberland for excerpts of Med’s acting to add with his interview and came across a Bonanza fansite boasting 3,200 members with names like “Adamsgirl” and “Joesmyhero.” One of the members, “Daydreamer,” had written a biographical sketch on Med, who played several roles during the course of the 14-year-long western drama. She complained she couldn’t find anything recent on him.
Flush with the pride of insider knowledge, I started typing a response about his playing at Charlie O’s, the Med Logansport Jazz Festival, his alumni article, etc., but before I posted it, I took a look at a thread below the dialogue and spotted this addendum from Daydreamer:
“Thanks for the kind words everybody. I was so relieved when I got this [biography] posted, but my Med obsession lives on. Last night I dreamed that I found a magazine with Med on the cover and his complete life story inside of it. Then I dreamed that they made the story of his life a made for tv movie of the week.
If Med only knew the fangirl angst he’s causing!”
I decided right then, out of respect (and a little fear) for Med and Rex, to leave her in the dark.
