Guest Dream!
Sharat represents with this fantastic dream:
I'm with a handful of friends walking through the lovely home that we have jointly purchased. While hanging out in the living room, John Oates (of "Hall &…" fame) notices one of those airline ticket dispensers amidst the cabinetry. He's excited to find that it's not a ticketing machine, but it actually an online CD purchasing terminal. He looks himself up and is surprised to see that there is a new compilation of his post-Hall solo work.
John starts remarking loudly (above all of the other conversations then going on) about how pleased he is with the track selection and is saying that not only is he going to buy one himself, he'd be happy to place orders for all of us that
want one too. He looks expectedly at each of us as we sheepishly try to avoid his gaze, trying to think of how to extricate ourselves from the awkwardness.
After a few moments of complete silence and the realization that not a single person is interested in a "Greatest Hits of John Oates (solo)" collection, he shouts, "Fine! After all we've been through, now I know what you think of me!" Then he stomps out of the house.

1 Comments:
Two apropos Hall & Oates songs spring to mind:
"Out of Touch" (my favorite song of third grade) and
"You Make My Dreams" (so sweetly referenced in a love letter I received almost ten years ago.)
