It is not often that I wonder how different my life would have been if. But this tour has to make me wonder. If I hadn't been so violently kicked out of the Cow Palace by Mr. Graham himself would the Cure be my favorite band? Little things like that. How many times have I been fired since then? All similar experiences. 27...maybe 26 ish. I never payed much attention to my favorite band again until I was walking the Avon 3 Day in the 2000's and heard Beautiful Day and remembered what love felt like. Sick, sad, sorry, but true. I love U2 and hardly listened to them for a couple of decades due to shear weird life experience...I think it was a flashlight incident. The most popular band ever? Thank goodness I like a lot of other bands. It's good to hate for no good reason when it doesn't matter that much. Bono makes me gag. And I only missed Larry the drummer really. No regrets.

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
