Weird Perry Dream??
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:18 amThis sounds gayer than it really is, but...
About 12 years ago, in between the time Time 3 came out and FTLOSM, I would occassionally have weird dreams about meeting Steve Perry and Journey, or just running into them in some odd situation. Sometimes they were disturbing, like I would dream that Perry would be physically deformed, like his jaw would be removed from surgery (I guess tied into those old cancer rumors), and he would just stare at me...Other times they were odd dreams like I would be helping the band load equipment out, and I'd talk to Jonathan about his keyboard rig - just oddball stuff that really didn't have any purpose.
Funny thing, I had a Perry dream this past weekend, I really hadn't had anything like that in years. I dreamed that Perry came back out for a small tour, and he was performing very small clubs, like supper clubs with palm trees and cocktail waitresses and shit. So in this dream, Perry came out, looking pretty much like he did in the Perryville Meet N Greet pics from a few months ago, but he was wearing the red tails...It was a very intimate environment, with only maybe 300 people there, and it was very casual, as a lot of people were sitting at their tables as he started performing. Me and about 40 others were standing in front of the stage, and he opened with "Line of Fire" of all songs - And up close, it was so obvious he was lip synching the song! Occasionally he'd catch my eye and look over my head or something like he was intentionally ignoring me or something. People didn't seem to notice he was lip synching, then he went into Foolish Heart, which he was really singing. Most of the dream, I was just talking to people around me, watching the show. Then, my wife started heckling Steve from the other side of the room...Apparently she was very drunk, and she was pointing and saying something to him....About 5 bouncers came out and tackled Sabrina, while Perry continued the show..All I kept thinking was, "What a fucking dick, that he let those huge guys tackle my wife!" So at that point, Perry had done about 6 songs, and he ended the show and walked off the stage. Then the dream pretty much ended with me thinking what a dick Steve Perry was.
Really strange, especially since I hadn't dreamed anything like that in a really long while. Maybe Perry is slowly making his way back into our subconcious to prepare us for a 6 song EP or something? Maybe a tour with Tony Bennett. Really a fucked up dream.
Anyway, that's embarassing. Just thought I'd share.

I think a lot of us feel something is brewing with SP - at least, we can hope. Your dream sounds good & I'd like for that to happen, except for the lip synching & wife tackling, of course.
