It was the first concert of Al’s new tour (see what I mean about Al needing to tour?) and there were only seven people in the whole venue. (It was all right though, because it was an itsy bitsy place.) Al came out, all by his lonesome, clad in his Germs outfit, singing One More Minute. He started wandering around, trying to pick the best lap to sit in. So what did I do to attract his attention demurely, shyly, and politely? I bellowed “AL!” of course! He looked over at me, grinned, and flopped down in my lap. (Ah…dreams are nice.) Eventually, he got back up and continued wandering around until the end of the song. At the end of OMM, the crowd didn’t move. It was like they were mannequins. So Al came back over to me and sat back down in my lap. “Hey Al?” “Yes?” he said, with a Polish accent. “When’s the new album coming out?” (They had started the new tour before releasing their new album, I guess.) “Later.” “Oh.” We sat and chatted for a while (Al had that Polish accent the whole way through). Psst…Al…OMM in your Germs outfit. Think about it. ;) It’d be awesome! My Take On It Next Dream |
