Whoo boy! I don't dream about Al very often, but when I do, it's off the wall crazy!
So I'm at church and my ex husband (who has irl been dead since 2014) was getting ready to sing a solo. He got up on stage and started tuning his guitar, strumming slowly, then all of a sudden broke into "Albuquerque!" He started out slowly, but gained speed throughout the song and by the end of it, no one could understand what he was singing, he was saying the words so fast!
I remember sitting there thinking how sweet it was for him to learn a "Weird Al" song for me. Then I started thinking about Al, and next thing I knew, l was out in the parking lot, which had turned into a music venue, and Al had added a second leg to this tour and was about to come out on stage! I looked around, and there was only one other person waiting there, a woman who I believed was the only other fan in town besides myself.
She and I started talking, and we were ecstatic that we were able to talk endlessly about Al and what he means to us. I told her that he was instrumental in my wanting to stay alive, and she said that after she lost her leg, Al was who kept her alive, too!
I looked at her legs, and sure enough, one of them was a prosthetic leg! What was unreal was that attached to the back of it was a mini engine from a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I looked at her questioningly, and she said "watch this!" She leaned down and turned a small key in the motor, and it roared to life with the full bodied growl of a Dyna! She stood on that leg and all of a sudden started zooming around the parking lot/concert venue. I remember thinking how cool it was that I had my ex husband, Al and a Harley all in the same place.
Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh! Then I woke up!
Well, this is it. This IS the last minute!
