We were heading for the venue, Melkweg. I think it was around 6:30, when we just stepped into Lijnbaansgracht from Leidseplein, he was there too. We – him together with another guy and us - passed each other. I said to Bennie: “hey, it’s him, Danny, the vocalist!”. I heard him talking, recognized his voice too. We yay!!ed and walked on about 20 meters to the venue. When we were finally there, we couldn’t believe what we saw: “THUNDER-CANCELLED”. “WHAT?????” The girl at the counter told us that Danny had lost his voice and that they had decided to cancel the gig only 15 minutes before.

Another bad luck to me. I said to Bennie: “I must have done something wrong…. But what?” Bennie said then: “Nothing. Unless you mean all these people (who were looking forward to the concert) must have done something wrong”. Oh, that’s right… I’m not the only one here… A good point, Bennie.

Now I only wish him speedy recovery.

…When I came home, btw, I wanted to play music very LOUD… but alas, I don’t have a hi-fi set now.

Cancelled

Something very stupid happened to me last week I had just done grocery shopping at the mall, got on my bike to go home. Then something hit my head – an orange! Someone threw an orange at me from behind. It hit me so hard that it burst – splash! – open. When I got home, I saw I had fresh orange juice all over me. I was angry but also found kinda funny. BUT, wait a sec…. if it had been a rock or something… I could have been seriously injured or even… dead. OMG! It wasn’t funny anymore.

Fox is still peeing blood, though it’s getting less. Hmm… I can’t recall any happy stories from this past week. I don’t think there were any. I feel really tired.

Spread Your Wings
(Queen)

Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He’d made up his mind
His boss said to him
‘Boy you’d better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should’ve been sweeping up the Emerald bar’

Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
Because you know you should do better
That’s because you’re a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself he’d be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay

Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He’d made up his mind
‘This could be my last chance’

His boss said to him, ‘now listen, boy’
You’re always dreaming
You’ve got no real ambition you won’t get very far
Sammy boy don’t you know who you are?
Why can’t you be happy at the Emerald bar?’

So honey
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
Because you know you should do better
That’s because you’re a free man
Come on honey
