so i was back home in Adelaide at my Aunty's house. but it wasn't a regular day. i was watching U2 live on TV, they were playing in Adelaide that day and i assume they thought it was a good idea to broadcast it live on TV. i also assume it wasnt their only adelaide show, because i would have been there. but nevertheless.
i wasn't alone in watching the concert, there were about 20 others there with me; it was like an informal cocktail party in my Aunty's living room. and Bono was there. yes. while he was playing a concert as well - only he can be at two places at once.
anyway, we met and we hit it off. we spoke for a while (i can't remember what about), and i ended up getting his phone number and a reassurance that we'd catch up (!). how pathetic, but anyway. the topic got onto the concert, and i asked him "oh, hey, uh... what are you closing with?" and he started to answer, and before he could, i asked "can you close with bad/40? please? i've never heard it live." Bono exchanged glances with Edge (who just showed up at the party for this purpose i assume, he wasn't there before and he disappeared soon after), and he said "yeah, OK."
for some reason, Dad remembered that he had to go to my Nonna's house and pick up something (she lives the street over from my aunty... its like Everybody Loves Raymond), and i decided that it would be a good idea to go with him. what the fuck was i thinking? i was watching a live U2 concert with Bono and I left. so we went, we came back, and everyone was gone, the house was tidy and everything. I asked my Aunty where everyone went and she said "The concert finished".
so somehow i got home, and jumped onto the computer and started to download the bootleg (i assume it was a video bootleg that someone taped off the TV, because yeah... it was on TV. what's up with that?). and to my delight, the setlist finished with Bad/40! Bono was a man of his word!
so i decided to call Bono, to thank him and to apologize for leaving like that, and my little cousin picked up the phone. she was at the concert, and she had the phone because "bono and daddy (my uncle) went outside for a smoke". so, yeah. then i woke up.
as soon as i woke up i thought, "shit! that bootleg is probably finished downloading now!"... and then i realized it was just a dream and my heart was crushed.
anyway, back on the concert, i'm pretty sure it was for a new album. from memory it was called the "Loneliness Tour" or something gay like that, and there was a reference to "2005 Merciless Morons" (yes, i am well aware that the year is 2005), and that leads me to believe that in my dream, Mercy was on the album. Yay. also, the stage was very red and reminiscent of Vertigo Tour.
so, if U2 play two concerts in Adelaide for their "Loneliness Tour" on a red stage and decide to broadcast one live on network television, and if Mercy is on their new album, i have ESP. kthx
