Kim ********* notes from the road........ day one..........10/6/1999 1:23:48 PM on the plane. just watched a hilarious movie...american pie. i hadn't thought i'd see it cause i caught the ad on tv and thought to myself, hmmm......high school guy fucks apple pie. where else could the move go? but then this lady and her boyfriend behind me couldn't stop laughing and i found myself laughing along with them in my sleep. turns out they were watching this movie. i turned it on and giggled for an hour. i chortled. i shook. i covered my hand with my mouth. i hee hee-ed and ah ha ha-ed until my bowie band mates looked at each other in confusion. practiced my french for a while..... i got a little work book and dictionary, to help me reach into my memory and drag my high school lessons out. we'll be spending a few days in paris. i've never been there. i'm so incredibly exited. i've wanted to go there my whole life. frankie, our tour manager, and tony, one of our crew are reminising about the who and deep purple and all kinds of seventies cavorters. they are sitting one either side of me, getting pretty riled up. talking about an incredible bootleg store in japan, another one in hamburg. i feel i should be taking notes.. signing off until tomorrow....... day three, 10/8/99 london tv show okay so tomorrow never came and today is the day after tomorrow. hi. it's friday. we're in london at the chris evans show, "tfi friday". i kept meaning to ask someone what that stands for. the best i could come up with is thank fuck it's friday. which, hey, could work. emm gryner and i had a late one last night playing charades and simon says. no kidding. feeling the effects of jet lag and our bit of homespun fun. just had a beautiful cheese sandwhich. the charlatans and annie lennox are here. pretty cool. i'm looking forward to seeing them. wait. i think they're on now. the eurythmics. day four, 10/9/99 time??? wembley stadium here we are at wembley. lots of show business peeps running around. robbie williams has not arrived yet, although his mail has. no sign of the boys from bush around either. we were asked by some taking the piss security guards if we were in the corrs. which we are not, although i for one was secretly flattered by the comparison. emm says she was flattered as well, seeing as she is secretly in love with jim corr. dave stewart just walked by and said hi, i think to emm. i think he has a crush on her. she said (to me later when he was out of ear shot) "hi dave, stop in drop by if you're around this waaaay agaaaain". this, for those of you who don't know, is a lyric from our gentleman boss david bowie's first song ever recorded when he was nineteen. it's very cute the way he always shakes his head when he sings that line. speaking of head shaking, says emm, where's jimmy and my throwaway camera? jimmy is our lovely wardrobe man. i say where's jimmy and all the gear he's gonna bring us from agnes b? day five october 10, 1999 dublin last night guys. it was magic magic magic. david came out and sang life on mars in this little club and everyone was singing along. i did see a few lighters. it was lovely. then the rest of us came out and played a whole show. it was our first one cause we've been doing all television, one or two song hits. when it was all finished, i was ready to go do a gig. it's excruciating sometimes to have to stop playing. you're all riled up and relaxed at the same time, a zone, it's a zone that finds you....and then you gotta get off stage talk to lots of people. it's nice to talk, but it's nicer at those moments to sing. met a lot of nice people in dublin. michael my manager and emm and page and my irish friend dave from a great band called picturehouse and deirdre, a friend of michael's...well we all went out to a couple of after hours clubs. you know what i'm talking about.... the kind with comfy chairs and very low light and the really loud music from the next room murmuring quietly in the background. michael flatley from riverdance was there, as well as the lead singer from def leppard. emm worked the room like a pro, it was a very funny evening...... okay....i've got to go now and pay this phone bill and get on that next plane to paris.......a bientot mes amis day seven, paris, october 12, 1999 just got back from seeing marianne faithful in concert. she was great. the woman has heart. somehow afterward we ended up at a french mexican restaurant, which i know sounds absurd, but there you go. we're improvising here. emm and i ordered tea this morning for 9:15 to get us out of bed, thereby reintroducing the idea of getting outside for the whole day. this is an idea which would be hard to consider if still sound asleep in these gorgeous beds. this is the craziest experience. we are seeing the world in style with db.....i'm pretty sure this is real and not a dream as much as it feels like one. emm and i walked down the champs elysee today, down to the louvre, which we found was closed. we then walked over about the distance of one city block to the seine. we looked for a boat to take a ride upstream back to our hotel in the 8th arrondissement but not finding one at the right moment, ended up having a meal in the tuilleries. i'm looking at these words on the screen shaking my head. these are my hands typing these words. this is my ass sitting in this proper chair. wow. tomorrow we're miming one song, thursday's child on a tv show. the real gig is on thursday.....time for sleep. bon soir...... hp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 17:12:57 PDT From: "Tab Siddiqui" Subject: Emm w/ Ron Sexsmith...
