I was working at restaurant in Galway... a split shift, ten A.M. to eleven P.M. with a three-hour gap in the middle.... I hated it. I quit. I went to Kilkenny. | |
I had a funny short dream. I was in a pub. A man was playing guitar.
He sang: "How can a guy be yellow* when he drinks like a fellow who is blue?"
*Yellow means "cowardly" in American slang.

I was in a real pub a night or two later, there in Galway where I stayed for a couple of weeks at the end of summer 2001.
I was having a pint with some people from the hostel, a woman from Dublin and an African guy from Paris. I told them about the dream.
"That's the name of this song," she said. It was "Yellow" by Coldplay — the first time I heard it.
