Dreams: Killer Clowns
The other night I had the following dream.
I was watching television and a promo for a new Broadway Musical that was coming out was on the television. The musical was going to be called Killer Clowns and Bette Midler was in it. The promotional piece that showed the Killer Clowns logo and Bette Midler's name also said that all the music performed would be that of Steely Dan.
The taller buy from Hall & Oates was the lead and in the promo he was sitting at a table looking out a window or into a mirror -- you really couldn't tell. He stood up and danced toward the camera and as he did so there was some voice-over stuff going on. The voice said that this was going to be one of the first Broadway shows with really good special effects (but the voice said it in a more professional way) and as the voice ended the sentence another version of the taller guy seemed to materialize behind the first just inside the mirror/window. (I was paying close attention and noticed he didn't really materialize so much as roll in to the scene.)
The first guy did a spin and danced back toward the new guy, going around him in a way that suggested he didn't see the new guy as he was invisible to the first guy.
I thought, "This is amazing. It's a Broadway show and they've made it appear that a duplicate has appeared on stage." Then, as the second guy danced closer you could see it was really an acting double and not an actual clone.
Odd, eh?
Where did it come from?
Killer Clowns: The night of the dream I'd been reading Blogography and there was a bit about Killer Clowns there. I stole the picture in this posting from there.
Bette Midler: Dave (from Blogography above) asked the drones he exercises mind control over to vote for Cupid to be released on DVD. While casting my vote I saw that Bette! was another show I could vote for and IMDB'd it.
Steely Dan: Your guess is as good as mine. I own several of their albums/CDs.
The Taller of the Hall & Oates Guys: No freakin' idea. They were at Miami of Ohio the year after I graduated and I know their people went out 'recruiting' girls for an after-show party. That memory flitted through my mind a few days ago.
The window/mirror: Years ago, on SNL, Mick Jagger was on and in a sketch. Mike Meyers was playing his reflection and the two had a conversation with each other. Once in a while that sketch will come to mind, especially as Mick is now on Knights of Prosperity.
The whole thing is a puzzle.
