h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So anyway, yesterday was the premier of the show 'Magical music - Musical magic', a production mainly of my mother's, and with me coaxed into appearing as a bit reluctant soloist. I have always been passed by the press on these things before, so you can imagine my surprise and pride when a journalist from the newspaper Romerikes Blad wanted me for a comment on the show during the intermission. Let me tell you what I remember from our talk:

Interviewer: "So, your name is Tilde, right?"
Me: "Er yes, but would you mind writing Tilly, it's my preferred name, you see. That's right, T-I-L-L-Y."
(Watches her write it on her pad in big letters)
Interv.: "And you're Anne's daughter, if I'm correct?"
Me: "That's right, but you don't really have to mention that in the article (laughs friendly) We're individual performers, you understand."
Interv.: "Oh, no problem. (notes something on her pad) And what do you think of this consept?"
Me (searching for posh and impressive words): "Oh, I think it's quite refreshing that our kind of big bands can show off in other contexts than 17th of May (Norway's national day), and hopefully draw bigger audiences as these kinds of orchestras usually don't get the top billing."

And a bit more, yakkety-yak. I'm not any kind of attention-grabbing show-off person - usually I'm extremely shy when it comes to these things, but I must admit I got a bit frustrated when I opened Romerikes Blad to find she had completely ignored all my requests, and even misquoted me: "'I like to show off a bit', says Tilde Clark, 'And I think it's important that the audience show up to these things as big bands aren't popular.' It's Tilde's mother, Anne, who plays a magician[...]" Right. Go check again what I originally said, and then the paragraph from the article. Further on, she tells of the lovely hooded capes my mother sew of blue velvet, calling them "elephant-costumes", and then critizes the conductor for standing with his back to the audience (what? Should he rather stand with his back to the orchestra?).

Sorry, but these things annoyes me. After a little tiny taste of fame, it irritates me how I come across after I've done my outmost to not come across like that.

Well, well. The price to pay. Next they'll probably start to speculate about my personal scandals and sexual orientation
