![Last night in a dream, I was bragging about a new band I was starting to some faceless dream people that were standing around. (Apparently [Redacted] from B-Dubs has got my subconscious mind all worked up about bands, which is a development I find mildly troubling, for a number of reasons) (and don’t worry, reader: I have no plans to start a rock band, as “an Andy Sturdevant-fronted rock band” appears very near the bottom of any list of “Things Minneapolis Needs,” along with “blog posts about that thing about Minnesota and hipsters that was on Buzzfeed” and “a freakish late-May blizzard”).
“Man, we’re going to be bigger than the Beatles,” I boasted.
“Ha, try again,” said my faceless dream companions.
“OK, we’ll be bigger than Bauhaus,” I countered.
“No way,” they said.
“Fine,” I shouted, exasperated. “We’ll be bigger than the Vulgar Boatmen.”
“I’ll buy that,” they said.
I checked in with the American Dreamological Institute after I woke up this morning, since I found it odd that the Vulgar Boatmen had appeared in my dream. They confirmed what I had already suspected: it was the first documented instance of the Vulgar Boatmen appearing in a dream since 1996, when Jenny Cummings, a graduate student in architecture at the University of Florida in Gainesville dreamt that Walter Salas-Humara was driving a bus that picked her up and drove her to a building that seemed to be a bank but was also an aquarium, and hummed a few bars of “You and Your Sister” along the way.
