Björk, All Neon Like
Of course the gig was sold out before I got the ticket. I was terrified. So I went around and listened to the record at Virgin's .. it was the first time so I was really moved emotionally. After listening I went to a cafe to write about it for all the beppers on the list where we share these feelings.
I was already satisfied with the fact that I'd miss the concert. I'd have the music, anyway.
Then, suddenly, out of the blue, there is this guy from Belgium with a perfect solution: a ticket to the concert in Brussels the day before the one in Amsterdam - the first gig on the new tour! What am I to do? Of course I went and enjoyed it really and am really thankful for all the people who made it possible. I'll never forget the evening.
This is what I think the net really is about.
Still I was left with a bit mixed feelings: what was this leading to?
