defrog1. Van Halen karaoke night
I am attending a music festival of some kind featuring lots of classic bands from the 80s. It’s being held in a huge gymnasium. The stage announcer introduces Van Halen. The auditorium goes dark and Eddie Van Halen starts playing “Eruption”. The band launches into “You Really Got Me” and the spotlight hits David Lee Roth as he runs out onstage. But the rest of the band is invisible – there’s nothing behind Roth but a wall of Marshall stacks, leading me to believe the show is actually supposed to be David Lee Roth doing Van Halen karaoke.
bedsitter23 is there, and he and I start jumping around, “rocking out”, by the stage in a show of support for Diamond Dave. We are aided by the fact that the floor is covered in some springy rubber material that gives the audience more bounce. bedsitter23 uses this to do backflips. There aren’t that many people in the audience, so he has plenty of room. But I soon regret the jumping, because I’m out of breath halfway through the first song, and I kinda feel committed now that Diamond Dave has seen me dancing about.
2. Movie theatre biker orgy
I am going to see a movie with KT. Outside the theatre are two loud obnoxious biker stereotypes. KT and I take our seats and sure enough the bikers end up sitting right in front of us, arms hanging over the seatbacks to annoy us. We get up to change our seats and they pretend to take offense and cause a scene, but the usher is already by our aisle and asking them to leave. They leave, but we are worried they will wait outside for us when the movie ends.
There is an exit by the front of the theatre. I go to check it, and when I come back the movie has started. It turns out to be strikingly pornographic – the scene onscreen is of a movie audience engaged in an explicit orgy. We all look at each other as though we’re expected to participate.
3. Heavy metal parking lot
I am sitting in an SUV with Geezer Butler. We are parked outside a convenience store waiting for Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi, who have gone in to get some drinks. Geezer is telling me stories about the old days with Black Sabbath, and doing hilarious spot-on imitations of Ozzy. Ozzy and Tony come back and get in the SUV, and we hit the road. As for why I’m there, I don’t remember, but I think I was supposed to be interviewing them about the new album.
Together again,
