I knew moving back to the Boston area would make being me somehow more complicated. A few weeks ago, comedian Brian Kiley (make that, Emmy-winning writer Brian Kiley!) told me he was nervous about talking to me because he remembered "Sean McCarthy" as his childhood bully growing up in Newton. But then Kiley said he also remembered that that Sean McCarthy probably still doesn't know how to read or write.

In the past week, I've also had people refer me to this guy who fronts the band Helms, and this guy who writes freelance music articles in New Bedford. They're not me. But maybe I should get the second guy to review the first guy's music, then blog about it. Wouldn't that be fun? Maybe not.

Just another reason why I've always used my middle initial.
