[rec.music.gaffa] Do you dream of Kate?

barger@ARISTOTLE.ILS.NWU.EDU (Jorn Barger) (05/16/91)

My _ex_ once dreamt that Kate reassured her she wouldn't steal me away (!),
but I just had my first Katedream last night, and it was a doozy.  I had
tickets to her tour, which turned out to be in a TINY (50-seat)
theater-in-the-round in somebody's mansion.  Kate was sitting there
nervously as people entered, and I went over and squeezed her hand to
reassure her, but she seemed worried everyone would line up to paw her if
they saw.  I regretted not bringing a tape recorder.

After the first set (which I can't remember anything about), I had to go do
something that required my leaving the hall, and to get back in time I
risked my life running across a four-lane highway.  In fact I'd missed the
first song of the second set, which sounded like Kashka (maybe), and Kate
was now wearing this incredible beautiful hideous latex monster outfit,
which by squeezing and stretching and shimmying she transformed into a
totally different multi-colored big ragmopdoll costume, to great applause. 
(I think this part came from the Muppet-Shop rumor.)

After the concert I saw Kate again outside, and gave her a hug, and she
apologized for the bodyguards who were eyeing me threateningly, saying
something about how she was in danger of getting "carried away," like I was
turning her on(!).  During this part she actually looked more like Krys of
Homeground (who I've met) than KT herself.

There was a big stone slab with the tour schedule carved into it-- four
dates only in England, but some 30 in the US, of which this one, labelled
"Buffalo Evening News" (I used to live in Bflo) was about #9.

(Was this worth posting?)

Well, I had a dream that I was having dinner with Kate and my parents at my
parents house.  I asked her all kinds of questions about her albums, if
she was going to tour, etc.  And she seem real nice.  However, my parents
didn't like her because as soon as I left the table whe would start 
cussing and using four letter words, etc.  She never did it when I was
around, but my parents decided that she had a filthy mouth.  Got figure!

Well, Jorn related *his* Kate dream, so I figured I'd mention mine...

I had this a couple of months ago, and it was part of a much larger,
multi-layered dream, so I don't remememer it that clearly.  Anyways,
the Kate part of it was that I was at a Kate Concert in a huge
auditorium where the floor was tilted toward the stage a bit too much.

I don't remember exactly what songs She performed, nor Her outfit(s),
but I do remember that Her voice moved me to tears (no big surprise
there...) and that she did a cover of some Pink Floyd song (which kind of
surprised me, as I don't really like Pink Floyd).  The concert was an
extremely lavish production, and She had a band about the same size as
the "band in a box" from the _Love_and_Anger_ video.

Near the end of Her last song, She stepped into a wooden boat (about 12 - 15
feet long) and stayed standing as it slowly rose from the stage and
floated out over the audience, over our heads and away into the ether,
taking Her away as She sang...
