But here I am playing along, because I had one last night...) ditto- I had one so weird last night I've gotta share it, just to get it out of my head! I know what contributed to it: dealing with contradictory corporate procedure (is there any other kind?), Two Moxy Concerts in 1 weekend plus the ng, spotting "Spice Girls" dolls on a rack at a store and just barely resisting the urge to swipe them off the shelves (shows up later), and Eckerd's generic Robitussin for this stupid cold (prob. my first mistake). The dream "began" with my snapping awake at the end of this huge corp round-table meeting, they were all blank, faceless corporate figures. Everyone was applauding and clapping each other on the back and mumbling about "great idea, we'll make a mint." There was myself and four other people in these tiny chairs with name placards that said "the little people." I had no idea what this great idea was, but the next thing I know these huge gorilla like Corporate Goons are "escorting" us little people out of the conf. room and out onto the street. Then hundreds of these faceless goons come pouring out of the building and running from store to store to store and us "little people" watch them. They rushed into a store, swiped the Spice Girls dolls off the rack and replaced them with Moxy Fruvous dolls (not dolls, action figures!) The dolls (why do I remember this??) each came with an instrument and a prop: Murray came with two eye-blinding shirts and a bass, Mike came with A fedora and a megaphone, Dave came with an accordian and a blue and yellow KoS hat, and Jian came with a dumbek and "real comb-able hair!" They also each came with a "special bonus recording of 'King of Spain' Inside!" Us "little people" went to a concert a few days later and there were a pair of corp goons on either side of the stage... Murray and Dave would occasionally give them a quizzical look or shake their heads... and at one point Murray started making faces and giving one of the goons bunny ears behind his back, much to the glee of the fans. At what seemed like a calculated point in the concert the goons started flinging Fruvous Figures out at the audience like robots.

Mea culpa. I'm usually the one complaining about other people's in-person inside jokes, since I live in a remote area and don't often get to online folks' gatherings. So anyway, for the benefit of those who missed it, the Murray Theory is this (and I know it's been posted before - feel free to skip it if you're bored): Murray is the Frü that all of us just want to wrap up and take home, and each one of us sincerely believes that we are the only one, and that this is our own little well-kept secret. We are all mistaken. I think I'll refrain from mentioning the other theory on the grounds that I may really embarrass myself (like *that* doesn't happen often).

She didn't seem bitter to me, but since I'm around her age (a BIT younger) it's possible that I just identified with her viewpoint. The sound for her vocals was HORRIBLE, mostly: I had a tough time understanding anything she sang due to the muddy sound quality and overly-loud backup band. I did manage to lip-read a bit, though, and her lyrics wre well worth the trouble. I don't know if I'd care to see her with the band again, but she'd be interesting as a solo act. Anyone who wants to know what I usually feel like should listen to the lyrics for "Invisible," I think it was called. What a wonderful song. As I recall, she mentioned that the lads weren't quite prepared for the size of her band, so maybe they were expecting her to sing solo? I groaned when I saw all the equipment that would need to be taken down between sets, especially when the drummer started tearing down his kit slowly, piece-by-piece...
