Guess who I saw...

-two days before I met Bono for the first time, August 23rd, 1999.

Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters were at The Vicar.

This is what I call coincidence.

“This is the home of Dr. Geary, another outlaw, like myself. We’re Navigators, we’re aviators, we’re eatin’ taters, masturbatin’ alligators, bombardiers we got no fears when we shed no tears, we’re pushin’ the frontiers of transcendental perception. What’s weird is.. we haven’t met yet. On this or any other plain.” –

Doctor Robert (Bono) in Across the Universe

Given it granted him the chance to say this, maybe it's a funny kind. (As well as the chance to sing the opening to "I Am the Walrus").

It's still waay below where I operate, lol.

Of course, if that's a gap for some, the character of Dr. Robert was based on Ken Kesey. Still a gap probably for many, but over here I'm amused.
