The Beginning

chuckie asked 'why the deep freeze?' and so i have travelled back in time to the beginning of it all. the very beginning of HatHead.

The very beginning...

i have just finished the last touches on the mix of a new album and needed some unbiased, honest feedback. the fortune teller at southern comfort always has some good, provoking things to say so i went off to see her. i set-up my keyboard, booted up my laptop, and performed the whole album from start to finish, perfectly, i was exhausted from the energy of it all. then the fortune teller leaned forward and told me these words:

HatHead's Fortune Teller
"...the world is not ready for you yet..."

when i asked 'when will the world be ready?', she took a long pause, looked deeply into my eyes and said in a dark, quiet voice 'when the devil has learned to skate'. i left crestfallen - this certainly sounds like a long, long time to wait.
i have my first music show at the cameron house tomorrow but think i will undergo cryogenic freezing tonight instead - they're not ready for me yet anyway. how long to sleep? the fortune teller made it seem like a really long time so how about a thousand years? sounds pretty good i guess. wonder if mankind will still be around? better freeze my cat Orfeo along with me just in case. and better wear a hat too in case it's really, really cold. hope they still have coffee in the future. and kitty litter too.
ok here i go....good-bye to everyone!
