Let's Talk About Me--Oh, Let's Not, Please!
Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!
I have a friend who would break into a conversation and proclaim, "Let's talk about me" (LTAM.) Shocking, yes, but honest, for we all want to talk about ourselves. For the most part we listen, or appear to be listening to someone else talk, but we're really concocting our response or thinking about something else until the person takes a breath. Then we jump in with our own LTAM until someone else breaks in at our perceived and hoped for pause. We all do it, but when an interviewer can't let a guest go two words without breaking in with his own LTAM--that's just wrong.
Most people usually listen to internet radio interview/talk shows for the particular guest who's being interviewed rather than the host. There's one internet radio interview show host whose books and personal talks I've enjoyed for many years, but I have great problem listening to him interview others. Perhaps it's his vast experience with ETs and abduction that makes him the "let's talk about me" guy that he is. Had I the experiences he's had, I'd probably be all about talking about them/me, too, despite what anyone else was saying, much of which would trip the "Yeah, I've been there" switch in my consciousness and the juiced up feelings would come pouring out.
Nevertheless, I recommend www.unknowncountry.com and the Dreamland interview with Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, who did a great job talking over the host's usual LTAM interruptions with great information on quantum physics and time travel. I love this stuff!
