Over the past few months, I’ve offered up tons of info nuggets and assessments on new media’s evolution and impact on marketing, communication, and society….

But this weekend (while searching YouTube for Lloyd Dobbler’s, a.k.a. John Cusack’s, “future plans” monologue from Cameron Crowe’s much-loved 1989 film, Say Anything), I stumbled upon something that really brought all of those referenced metrics, articles, and white papers to life—16-year-old aspiring musician Eric Striffler’s MySpace band profile, featuring the song “She Wrote About Me in Her Blog.”

Lyric highlights include:

She wrote about me in her blog,

and I read it,

and thought to myself she goes deeper than anticipated… 

She came online,
and I lost track of time,
we talked into the morning,
and not once did it get boring… 

Now we’re both out in the open,
we can’t hide behind the keyboards anymore…

The song tells the tale of how a someone used a blog to create specific content to reach a desired target audience in order to start a conversation and ultimately build a relationship.

I can’t imagine better evidence to prove the relevancy and impact of blogging than a song based on blog interaction. For the younger set (tomorrow’s older set, FYI) blogging is more than mainstream.
