It's all part of the 'Meddle' tour (yep, the album before Dark Side). For just a moment I look sideways and this guy, who looks a whole lot like John Bonham, gives me this all-knowing wink. "Now, what's he on about?", I hear myself think. I turn back to the stage and Gilmore's cranking out one of his solos during 'Echoes'. This beam of light blasts off the stage. I'm spinning in a vortex for about ten seconds. I wake up on the lawn in front of stage two at the Big Day Out. The year is 1992. Nirvana are crunching through 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. I'm up and in the mosh. The day ends and we're all sweaty and tired. I'm waiting for the vortex to take me back to the Floyd show. It never does. So here I am, makin' the best of it. And one of the ways I'm doing that (apart from the clothes I wear) is with my band, Asleep In The Park. I've kept quiet about the 'time travel' thing so the guys don't think I'm a raving nut. It looks, in hindsight, as though I've worried needlessly. The band, suffice to say, has a 'classic' sound - for obvious reasons - pulled straight from another era. One thing that troubles me: Am I 34 or 57? I mean, do you take it from the year you were born - or is it about the years you've spent on this planet? It's a tough one. Makes for interesting dinner table conversation. One cool thing: You have these computers now. That's taken some getting used to. What exactly is this MySpace thing?... I don't know. I'm not so good at typing onto the interweb, so I've got one of my pet monkey's doing the keying in. Brian (the grumpy one) is really good with technology. Generally, living with a minion of primates is fairly hectic (as you could imagine). But occasionally I get them to do my bidding. Note; nicotine is not good for monkeys and many of the poor little guys are on patches (They know I don't like it when they smoke). Anyway, come down to a show some time and I'll introduce you.
