I was at a concert with various performers that took place
in the gym/auditorium of my former grade school/church. It’s funny how Sam uses
this place as a venue sometimes in these storylines. My seat was towards the
middle.
Although it’s not
a big space, I was still wishing that I had binoculars to get a better view.
The guy behind me had them. I also wondered why Sam didn’t put me closer to the
stage. There were about 400 people in the audience.
The girl who used to
pick on me in this school, Michelle J, was sitting next to me. Surprisingly,
she was very nice to me here. Our appearance in age was as we were in about the
late 80s.
Sting was the main
star of this show. He was first on stage and did 4 songs. Rod Stewart was on
next. He performed 3 songs. The Outfield came out and did “Your Love” after
that. Many people were hoping that Sting
would do more songs.
6 or 7 other
performers were there, including Culture Club who did “Miss Me Blind”. I was
happy when I saw Duran Duran appear on the stage next, esp. because John Taylor
was back with them- as if he’d want to do that in reality. They did 2
songs-“Hungry Like the Wolf” and “Planet Earth”.
Everyone was so
pleased when Sting did 4 more songs, including” Every Breath You Take”. It was
cool that he came off of the stage afterwards and was shaking people’s hands
and talking to some of them.
I was glad that I
got to be at this awesome event, the kind that could only be possible in
fantasy land. I don’t see a gathering of such entertainers occurring in
reality. If it did, it probably would be at some charity function. And it
certainly wouldn’t take place in a small venue in a town in New Jersey.
I love how Sam
puts music stars in many of my programs. It’s great having an alien friend with
holodeck technology.
