The Wakefield Doctrine here. Hello. Happy to see so many smiling faces on the other side of the screen! No, I can’t really see anyone out there, but I know that you are there, the glass keeps fogging up!  Must be the scotts getting themselves worked up over the thought of something new to chase.  Sorry to disappoint, nothing here to chase, but lots of news and insider information.
Did you know that the original scott, was and still is, an accomplished artist? He used to draw these cartoon things back when we were all in the college dorm. Well, he and the progenitor clark were in the college dorm, I was just visiting. Although eventually he, scott that is moved out of the dorm and we found a place to live for the band that he was in at the time. So long ago that all was.

Before you get any more involved with this Post, I need to tell you a secret. This Post is trying to ‘sound like’ it was written by a roger, but it’s that clark  up to another one of his tricks! So don’t be fooled. Or maybe you should pretend to be fooled and we can all see how far he is willing to go to push this jalopy farther down the road. So play along.

In any event, the original progenitors or better to say the original three friends whose names are used in the title of this personality theory by the numbers were real, living, breathing, sometimes shouting friends. You should have been there! Or there should be a way to go back and do a flashback episode of the beginnings of this theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. We would have to make a choice, if we were going to try that. Do you want to have like, black and white original-looking film clips? Like Ken Burns goes to RIC?  All jumpy and un-steady camera, edits that make no sense… scenes that hold way too long while a voice that sounds like a guy pretending to be Chip Monck  does the narration.  We could even have letters to home  no wait!   phone calls…it would have to be phone calls to each other because no one wrote letters in the 60’s and 70’s. Heck, in the 60’s and 70’s there were only pay phones in the dorm, in the drugstore and in those superman phones booths with the folding doors!  ( “hey, ralph broke down with all the equipment in the back! get your parents car we have to get this stuff out of here!”)

Or the other approach would be to do a modern version of the story with real actors and modern production techniques.  Nah, that wouldn’t work…so much of the story of the Wakefield Doctrine namesakes has to do with and is embedded in the mid 20th would never work. How do you convey the sense of groundless hope,  enthusiasm without restraints? mindless optimism and trust that you are on the right path for your life even when you don’t even know about the concept of ‘looking up ahead’?  the original scott? total energy, enthusiasm, talent, live now! the roger? confident, talented, able happy to to trust the future to what he believed he knew about the world, the clark in all this? running…running to stay ahead of something, running to get to something running because there was no world around him that made sense and he was trapped by the idea that it all was supposed to make sense.

Go figure.

(But the movie of clark and scott and roger go to college? totally like the idea)
