Metal dreams

I have dreamed of metal only twice. The first dream was a Ludicra show. Singer Laurie Sue Shanaman had cut her hair, and they were playing new songs, which ruled. My subconscious is evidently good at writing Ludicra music. Ludicra, write new songs! Too bad I can’t remember your awesome ones from my dream. Otherwise, I would teach them to you.

The other metal dream I had was recent. I was hanging out with Lars Ulrich, showing him photos of Metallica from an old magazine. There was a certain one I wanted to show him, but I couldn’t find it after several minutes of searching. Lars grew impatient. In exchange for waiting for me to find the picture, he said I had to come see him in a play he was in. Surprised, I asked him what he did in the play. “Marimba,” he said proudly, a big grin spreading across his face.

Do you dream of metal?
