I had this weird dream last night. But before that, yesterday I got this awesome book about The Smiths called "Songs That Saved Your Life".
Anyways, so in this dream, I'm in a band as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. I'm dressed up in this nice shirt, pants, shoes, and vest (that I recently got), except my sleeves are rolled up, my hair is long, and I'm wearing Elvis glasses. I'm in a car, driving down the highway with my band-mates, for some reason Blaine (you reading this buddy?) being the bassist and Jeff being the guitarist, trying to outrun the cops. The drummer is some figment of my imagination. It's night.
Jeff THROWS his guitar out the window, where it hits the cop car's front windshield, making him veer off the road into the darkness beyond, so we speed off and head to closest guitar center for another guitar.
When we get there the shop is closed, so we break in and grab a really BEAUTIFUL fender telecaster and leap back into the car, where we drive to a monster-sized concert hall to play our show in front of 20,000 screaming fans. We rock the shit out of the place with a bunch of songs I made in my head that night, but now I can't remember (which really sucks). Anyways, we leave the stage, and all rock-star style, we get called out for an encore.
This is the best part: when we get out, i say into the microphone:
"We're going to go ahead and play the best song ever written."
The crowd starts to cheer. At that point, I begin to play the intro to Stairway to Heaven (the whole part you hear before the flute comes in). The crowd roars with applause and excitement. I stop, laugh, and start talking into the mic again, saying:
"Just kidding, that song sucks." There's a brief moment of audience disapproval, before Jeff cuts them off into the opening guitar line to, what else?
THIS CHARMING MAN BY THE SMITHS
The crowd goes nuts, and we play the song like a fucking dream.
Man, I wish that was my life for real.
