This is a dream I had last night. It's left me thinking. This is pasted from my blog and it's not completely about Shannon. Give me your thoughts.
: )
I woke up in a daze. Like I had just came-to after passing out. I was confused and wanted know where I was, who I was and what was going on. I heard a raspy voice to my left and a deeper, less raspy voice to his left. I heard music, It was Janis Joplin, echoing in from a long way away. I looked to my left and I saw Shannon Hoon talking to Billy Corgan. Shannon said, "I mean, man... music has enhanced millions of kids lives. They look for a safe, warm place to hide in it when not everything's okay. I mean..." - "Yeah! I know what you mean, man. I've dealt with things like that in my life. With my dad and all. I always thought that music just numbs the bad for a pretty good while. - "Yeah, but some kids... it just doesn't work as good as." Waving his hand infront of him. "Some kids... they kill themselves. If it's the only way out..." - "It can't be. I ran away. I came very close to it, though. I was scared." Shannon was sitting cross-legged with his hands on his knees. Billy was sitting with his knees up in front of him and had his hands crossed at the wrist on his knees. Billy looked at me and half-pointed. Shannon looked at me and jumped like I scared him. He smiled really wide. "Hey, man! You've been out for awhile now. I was gettin' worried. You okay?" He chuckled. I didn't say anything. I looked behind them and saw fireflies. Everything was dark. But not too dark. Like at 6 or 7 during the summer. We were on a table cloth under a tree. There was a lukewarm breeze. In between these two gods was a picnic basket. I thought to myself, "I'm on a picnic with my musical idols. Jesus christ." Shannon laughed and looked deep into me. I was stunned. Billy cleared his throat and looked off. Shannon said to Billy, "As I was saying, I've met some kids, before and after my acme, that seemed really down and depressed. They told me that my music has helped them through a lot. I never knew exactly what to say to them. Thinking back, I might have disappointed a few." - "Yeah, I've met some like that also. I said 'Keep listening' to a few. They usually smiled." Shannon patted me on the back and told both of us, "Well, I hate to say it but, I've got to get going. Keep it between the ditches!" He stood up and skipped off. Billy scooted closer to me and said, "So, what's your favorite Pumpkins sing?" - "Well, there are a few that I like. I guess, if I could choose three, they'd have to be 'Stumbleine' 'Tonight, Tonight' and 'Thirty-Three'. 'Stumbleine' kinda sums my life up. 'Tonight, Tonight' is a song I'd eventually like to dedicate to someone and 'Thirty-Three' is just a song I really like. I don't really have a favorite. I have a favorite food. Which is pizza. Pizza!" Billy laughed. That's about all I can remember.
