Just when we had finished our last song on the Connect Festival in Scotland yesterday evening, and were about to walk back on stage for the encores, a woman (I won’t tell her name) slapped my ass.
She is not my girlfriend.
I just laughed. But then I wondered: Could I do the same thing to one of the brass girls? Or to Björk?
I seriously doubt it.
Women can do certain things to us that we can’t do to them.
But I guess we can do other things to them which they can’t do to us.
Fortunately I had some time with MEN ONLY back to Glasgow, namely Damian and Matt Robertson, who did all the brass arrangements for Björk. They were going to London, but gave me a lift to save me from the ass-slapping females. When we had about five minutes left before coming to the hotel, Damian - probably to bolster my hurt male ego - played a CD with the James Bond theme. Hearing the music associated with the biggest male chauvinist pig in the world of cinema made me feel OK again.
Seriously though, we now have a break for a few days, for our next concert will be on Saturday in Toronto.
I loved the concert yesterday. The crowd was fantastic! I think we did quite OK and I especially admired Chris Corsano for playing wonderfully, even though he had only slept for a couple of hours. He was supporting Sonic Youth in London the night before (I do envy him).
Below is a photo I took with my cell phone from the stage facing Inverary Castle:
