Dreaming of David Gilmour....Literally
Well last night a project for one of my classes took longer then I planned for it to take so I wasn’t able to post the next solo but tonight will be the night. I won’t let myself be lazy again! Now to concentrate on this post, last night I was listening to the new Gilmour album which I can’t seem to get enough of and then went to sleep. Keep in mind that I am exactly a week away from seeing half of the band that I worship, after this show I’m pretty sure I can die in peace seeing my favorite member of Floyd play Floyd songs. When I fell asleep last night I had a dream about going to the Gilmour show with my girlfriend. One of her neighbors were in possession of our tickets so we had to go pick them up, and for some reason she drove over there and I was holding on to the back of the car while riding my skateboard (so completely random but it is a dream.) We eventually got to the house to get the tickets and they were all on the roof, I guess they were a bunch of carpenters because they all had the belt on with the hammer in it and etc. We yelled up to them that we wanted the tickets and then he told us that he doesn’t quite have them but he will. I fell to the ground and cried and knew we wouldn’t be getting those tickets and I wouldn’t be seeing David Gilmour. Eventually some guy walked out of the house and told us if we sign this paper we could get them, so we both did. We were finally in possession of our tickets. Then my girlfriend and I walked back to my house and we were talking about how excited we were to see him and how we’re going to cry during the show. We were also talking about how much we can brag to everyone that we saw Gilmour. We left on our way to go to Radio City Music Hall and then I woke up… It was a pretty weird dream with many extremely odd details that I left out because they don’t really pertain to the story but that was basically the essence of it. It is just another reason that my excitement is building. I also wish that my girlfriend liked good music but some say opposites attract and that’s exactly what we are. Something must be going right if we’re still together for three years. David I can’t wait to see you! Please play “Wots….Uh the Deal” for us!

I understand the whole opposites attract thing. My wife & I have extremely different taste in music. There is a very small handful of groups/musicians we both like/can agree on. But for the most part our tastes are wildly dispareate. She considers much of what I listen to to be "old fogey music." She likes to tease me about the fact that most of the music I listen to is from 1989 or before.
Yeah I totally understand, we do agree on a few bands but very little. Normally they're pretty simple but catchy bands such as The Beatles and Weezer.
That is a great photo! I love it! Look at that smile!
Wow Jeff, one more week...this is how I felt in Oct. a week before I saw U2. I hope David exceeds your expectations as U2 did mine!
I think that the fact you ahd your g.f. have been together for three years says alot. I'm glad that you've been able to look past your musical differences. Just be sure you have plenty of people in your life who can relate and talk to (well, you have this blog...dhu!)
I would not allow my boyfriend to go see U2 with me. I had to go with my sister because she UNDERSTANDS how I feel and also appreciates and loves music. It would have ruined the night to go with someone who didn't "get it".
Yeah, I'm going with my friend from school. I wouldn't want a seat wasted for someone who wouldn't appreciate because I know many would die to go. If this is better or even equal to the U2 show than it certainly will be one of the bests concerts of my life. I also love this picture.
Smart man. You can do 99% of life's events with your girl, but this is like....well you know, holy ground. It would be a sin to take someone who didn't fully understand. :)
