I read some eclectic blogs in my collection of stuff and one is from Ted Gioia’s The Honest Broker who posts predominantly things related to music. Recently Ted cross-posted one of his favorite blog posts from Chris Dalla Riva and his substack “Can’t get much higher”
Chris narrates how he validated his grandmother’s tales of Frank Sinatra visiting and singing at her high school in the early 1940s. Long after his grandmother’s demise Chris is consumed by curiosity that leads him to spend over two months deeply chasing down what happened until he finally finds that it was indeed true.
This tale of curiosity and diligence to get to the truth deeply resonated with me. I struggle with long-form reading but did spend half an hour digesting this interesting article.
How curious are you? And how far and deep would you go to satisfy your curiosity?
