Sometimes, in your dreams, the location in which you are doing something mundane like watching TV, is an improbable one. Last night was one of those dreams.
I was in a industrial building, with a bunch of pipes and chain link fences. I don't remember what I was doing there or why I was there, but the "TV" came on, even though the "TV" was one of the chain link fences. But that's not the bizarre, important part of the dream. It is what came on the "TV" that was strange.
Apparently, in my dream world, Iggy Pop has a late night talk show. Yep, that's right, the one and only, Iggy Pop. I thought to my self, "self, why would Iggy Pop have a late night talk show? Of all of the non-establishment ideals he stands for, why would he have a late night talk show? And who would watch it?!" But alas, there it was, Late Night with Iggy Pop.
He came out on stage, with a band to the side of him, with his signature long hair, but he was dressed in a suit. It was a standard late night show set, with a curtain for him to walk through, a city skyline in the background. He started doing a monologue, and introduced members of the band. The drummer and guitar player to be exact. They both said some nonsensical stuff into the microphone in response to his jokes, and they both looked very haggard. I wish I remembered what his jokes were, because I'm sure they were epic.
His first guest was Henry Rollins. They showed a montage of him during the Black Flag days, and the solo/spoken word stuff. He then came out and talked about how he was an important voice for his generation and the punk rock musical movement; and today's kids don't understand social awareness in music.
His second guest was Will Ferrell. This is where the dream gets really interesting. During the interview, will stands up and puts Iggy's hair in pig tails, and then proceeds to cut one of them off. The studio audience laughs along, thinking it was a prank that was set up. I was thinking to myself, however, that Will Ferrell had done this on another talk show before, and I was surprised he was doing it again.
Apparently, it was not a set up joke. Iggy Pop got infuriated and started chasing Will around the set, which started to include some of the very weird items that were in the place I was watching the show, especially the fences and the industrial pipes. Iggy yells at Will, "My hair was trademarked!" and open the valve to one of the pipes and threw Will inside. Will climbed out, soaking wet and they were grappling like roman wrestlers. Soaking wet Will Ferrell and one pig-tailed Iggy Pop.
Then I woke up.
