Psychedelic Sandwich! (to Ana) It's really weird what comes into your head at times and what you end up remembering. I've told this story before - almost 9 years ago, some guys pushed me over a fence with spikes because they saw me wearing a rock t-shirt. I hit the ground with my right shoulder, which resulted in a humeral fracture and my legs got caught in the spikes of the fence, one of them coming out through a different exit point than the entrance one. Which sounds pretty nasty and it did feel awful right there and then, but way worse can be fixed these days, so I was fully functional within 3 months. The story I haven't told... I had to spend a few days in hospital after that, which at the very best is the kind of thing that's lacking in entertainment and the comfort of home. Do I have the right to complain about that given I walked out alive, lol? It also wasn't the best place for peace and quiet, leave me the fuck alone, world! The hospital was in a... um, how should I put this? A part of the city that's definitely not known for how educated the population is. You know, the kind of people who find it normal to get a donkey in a compact car. Stupid, rude, loud and obnoxious. There, I said it. On top of that, my parents were there and their presence wasn't exactly helpful. Telling me it was all my fault and, to stop the stupid and listen to them because they know better. And the guys who had pushed me had the bright idea of visiting because they were worried about the possibility of legal action. And they clashed with my parents. So much for peace and quiet, leave me the fuck alone, world! So that was the setting on Wednesday morning before my surgery and the reason why I was out on the hallway, playing this newly invented game of trying to find the path that gave me the maximum number of squished roaches (yeah, that does happen here) under my slippers, while avoiding hitting any other human being at that busy morning hour. And I had this crazy mix of bits of songs in my head... Someday... maybe Fred will win the fight... And that... cat will stay out for the night... Comin' down from an all night tripper, Pull your foot from the ruby slipper, 'Cause you can't get there from here... I got so fixated on the ruby slipper bit. Especially since I happened to be wearing red slippers. So I had this weird idea of knocking my heels together and... obviously, nothing happened, lol. And no, I didn't expect anything to happen, but I just got this idea of doing it and I did it because I thought it would be funny. Storm.of.lethal.flames... Now.only.death.remains... And this made the couple of conversations I didn't avoid really weird as it all got mixed inside my head. The words in the songs, the words I was told, the words I said, what I kept telling myself. WTF was that, why is it just yes and no and ok answers, that's rude, that's such a cute dolphin, don't stare at her dolphin medallion... Is this weird or what? I have all these strange memories of having various songs inside my head in various moments... before exams, coming home on Thursday eager to check the results of the first F1 practice of the weekend, waiting in line at a place whose name translates to The Furious Doughnut, crashing home on the floor after returning from the Iron Maiden show in Cluj, hanging my underwear to dry on these fantasy design decorations in a posh hotel room in Berlin before a conference talk...

The 20-year anniversary of my first show is coming up as well - I saw them in Minneapolis for the first time on the 9L tour. I think in August? The title track also being my first song I heard them play live. My friends and I had nosebleed seats, but I didn't care, I couldn't believe I was finally seeing my favorite band live! They actually played a tease of Cheese Cake before going into Monkey....

That's a pretty crazy story. You must've been on some good painkillers, which would maybe account for the song lyrics and actual dialogue getting mixed up? Also, the guys that pushed you down had to be some incredible douche bags for doing that to anyone, let alone a girl. How old were you?

That's a pretty crazy story. You must've been on some good painkillers, which would maybe account for the song lyrics and actual dialogue getting mixed up? Also, the guys that pushed you down had to be some incredible douche bags for doing that to anyone, let alone a girl. How old were you? I actually wasn't on any painkillers at that point. I just wasn't happy (well, that's an understatement) about the whole situation. They did it precisely because I was a girl. Because they could. A friend of mine got beaten up because he had long hair and he happened to be alone. If we had been in a big group, we would have been fine. I was 24. Probably looked underage though. When I got to the hospital that night, they first wanted to know if I had turned 16 or they should send me to the kids hospital. What I looked like after they wrapped me in bandages and what I imagined I looked like (in the top left corner).

I wouldn' t want to be in your position then, but I can imagine how you can feel to tell this story now after all these years& realise the strength you got.
