| I was at an indoor Orange County Fair concert. I was sitting on the floor, in the middle. Al came out on stage, nodded, and the band launched into all sorts of demented music-none of it by Al. Al eventually left the stage for a costume change. Al came back on in a Fat suit. It wasn�t black, and it had no belts. It was mauve overalls and a maroon top. Accompanying him was Cindy, in a matching outfit. Al strode up to the microphone and started rapping. �Know why they call me a fanboy, baby�� Cindy was dancing around in the background as Al did a quite excellent cover of The Great Luke Ski�s �Fanboy�. In the middle of the song, Al darted a glance left, right, and then belted out �I�m a Jedi master and you are merely just a-� Cindy bounced up and stuck a rose in between Al�s teeth. Another rose was clamped between her jaws. Together they chanted �Padiddawan you talk just like Jar Jar Binks�� The crowd roared with approval. After the show, the band left the stage and techs dragged tables full of Tshirts on. I hopped up and browsed through them. All of them read Class of �01. I already had a shirt that proclaimed what year I�d graduated, so I hopped down and headed back to my seat. I saw Al over in a corner. �Psst!� I walked over. He whispered, �Don�t bother waiting for autographs tonight�we�re all exhausted.� I nodded and left. My Take On It Next Dream |
