I have been on this hillside before but it has moved from Santa Barbara to Monterey . Several young fawn pugs are playing nearby in tall grass ebbing and flowing in the mild breeze and it is mid afternoon and surfers below battle the Mavericks . I have a soft cooler with leftover cold ribeye steak , potato salad, red wine, and strawberries and blueberries. I reach for a purple chocolate bar , when from several yards away I hear " is that a milka bar?" I answer yes and realize it is Bernard. He says " I have some hobnobs , if you don't mind sharing" . So, he sits down and we share lunch , only for a few moments, as behind us , up the hill, and over and beyond ,a roar from the festival crowd gets our attention. Lo and behold , Bill Murray looms before us from that direction, and joins us . Bernard introduces himself , and then me,as mr comings, but I suggest they just call me keepit. Before bill explains what the noise was all about, he shouts " those are huge waves", maybe 30 feet". Bernard says " Steve and Gillian wanted me to go with them , but the surf shop ran out of blue wetsuits. And I am afraid of sharks". Bill said those aren't sharks - that looks like a pod of belugas , narwhals, and orcas and they seem to be helping the surfers."
Then Phil and tom see us and join us , and then Bill tells us about the recent noise. "Apparently they overbooked the heavy metal portion , so they put acdc, Judas Priest , and black sabbath on together, followed by megadeath Motörhead , and Metallica together later . Other wise the flaming lips and the damned won't get to play tonight. So, Ozzy dressed up
as Angus , and Angus climbed onto a speaker and did halford's wiggly fiddly fingers behind tommy Iommi, and Halford pushed them all over and Ozzy bit Halford's Little finger off.
At that moment, the flaming lip's singer joins us , and David Vaniian and Capt. Sensible as well holding what turns out to be cold legs of lamb, and I offer to go get more wine , but Tom and Phil had some bottles extra.
Coyne tells us that they will play a short set of flaming lips songs and instead of a Dark side of the moon second set, they have been rehearsing technique and get ready , and wonder if New order will mind if they play them in their entirety, and Bernard says" sure , that way we can play our recent set and maybe add some more encores , " when Vanian says " hey we have been rehearsing sirens and republic, what do think, " and Phil says, our fans are going to be very pleased. "
And I woke up
