I had a dream that
I wanted to talk to Dorothy
about the wizard. Now that she's an adult she could tell me just what he was doing behind that curtain. I asked the tinman, the
lion, and the scarecrow to help, but they were back on the road again doing their Millenium Reunion Tour. Where's a good wicked witch when you need one?
Anyway it was all a dream within a dream,
and in this dream - Judy Garland dies and so does Marilyn, who turned down playing
Dorothy because she was under contract
to pose for the soldiers. It would have been a very different Oz if Marilyn had followed the yellow bricks. By the time Madonna arrived the whole thing had gone
pop, which she did, and we won't be bothered by navels in music videos again now that we know having babies is involved sometimes.... I was going to say something about Mel Gibson here, but I forgot it. Funny...
While the forces of darkness were gathering, Luke and Princess Luau meet for a secret
rendezvous. Somewhere James Earl Jones voice is heard saying "I'm your father, Luke,
I'm your father...", but it's too late because Alec Guiness has already appeared to
Luke in a vision and Alec has better gadgetry.
While Luke and Princess Luau play with their light sabers, Godzilla comes along and stomps
the shit out of everything.
Arnold is persuaded to make a final Terminator movie where he goes back to the chicken and
the egg. Arnold chooses the chicken. The 13th takes the egg and runs with it, only later
to be blamed for scrambling the world.
Stephen King writes another novel.
Americans discover their President has sex.
Aliens make pets of human race. All are happy except the yardboys, who find cleaning up
after humans to be particularly nasty.
Stephen King writes another novel.
Meanwhile, Bill Gates & company draws a new design - the
modem bank account - and grows rich on
an shrewdly patented amusement of selling information like a utility bill.
To a tin man a can opener is a
scalpel. "The beans have to be counted by somebody!", the rich man said.
Neil Young is still searching for that Heart of Gold, at least on the compact disc I
bought yesterday. Actually there are more breakups around me than a David Letterman
monologue. (insert laughter here)
Stephen King writes another novel.
They say the 60's were bad because Jimi and Janus got lost, and so did a lot of other
people for that matter. 'Course, in the 90's we've all found ourselves so I guess things
turn out.
Meanwhile Poor Princess Di - a victim of the media, but she did not die alone. The light at the end of the tunnel was a film crew.
And in this dream, I had a lot of questions, and could not get to sleep...
