Last night I dreamt I was walking through a forest. Suddenly, rising up through a stand of trees was a large theater with stadium seating. I heard the strains of The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me”, a live version.
I could peek in and see them performing the song in living color on multiple huge screens. It was a documentary on the band, one I didn’t know existed. I was so excited, I ran to the ticket counter and said, “I have to see this movie right now!” So CNN’s Wolf Blitzer handed me a stack of free passes and I went in as the film’s narrator was discussing their 1967 album Something Else.
What could it all mean, other than the fact that it was election week and I love The Kinks…? Interpretations anyone?
