Strange Dream I met Her

[HejiraNYC]

Bumpity bump bump...

Before I forget all about it, I wanted to get this down in writing. I had the most absurd, surreal dream last night (this morning, actually). It was so bizarre that, in the dream, I was actually slapping my knee and screaming "oh, no she di'in't!" And I never, ever slap my knee and scream "oh, no she di'in't!" in real life.

In a nutshell... Fleetwood Mac was featured on some kind of dance competition TV show like "Dancing with the Stars" (which I don't watch, by the way). They appeared to be either singing or lip syncing a new song called "Do What You Do," which was kind of an upbeat song. First Lindsey was wearing a black speedo-like thing and performing some kind of a bizarre Martha Graham-ish solo interpretive dance; I thought he looked sinewy and taut for an old geezer. Then Stevie comes out wearing a decidedly unflattering white tutu and proceeds to do these impossibly perfect splits in mid-air with Lindsey assisting her on pointe while singing/syncing her part of the song. The audience was loving it! Then, shocker of all shocks, S&L leave the stage and Christine walks out with John. And as she sings her part of the song, she and John perform a smoldering Argentine tango, which included John dragging her across the floor. It was flawless. But it all came down to the big close... where, at the end of the tango, Christine was supposed to fall into John's arms. But she couldn't do it... as if she didn't trust him. So she took a big (mis)step forward and broke her own fall. The judges loved the performance overall, but they cited Christine's big crisis of confidence at the end and voted the whole band off the show. They kept replaying that scene in slo-mo where Christine didn't follow through with her fall into John's arms.

Discuss.
