I’ve occasionally found some of my articles lifted online- nothing was ever done about it.
At any rate, on one of those Google alerts for my name, I came across a blogger who was writing about her new band, Hairband. She must have been researching and came across one of my articles. She cited my article, giving the definition of hairbands:
“According to Donna Talarico, the hair band classification was coined to represent the arena, glam and ballad rock groups that tore up the airwaves in the 80s – bands that looked like chics but rock like men such as Guns N’Roses, Bon Jovi, Scorpion, Cinderella…. “
I thought that was particularly cool that she cited my name– blogging sometimes gets a bad rap, but this girl must have a good teacher– “cite your sources!” Makes me proud. Here is the link to her blog: http://sueyen331.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!5CB51A3AAC3AF7EF!163.entry
