Timeline notes: Michael guests on 'A Campire Song' with the 10,000 Maniacs on their opening set.

Notes:
-MS sings King Of Birds ending in falsetto
-MS notes "...a supermarket parking lot in a small southern town where all the homeless folks woulg gather every morning to sing".
-Before ITEOTWAWKI MS goes off ending the pledge with "...one nation, indivisible, except for the stock market..."  He goes on: "The stock market crashes 25% people jump out of buildings, slash their wrists, people with investments tear their hair out of their head.  You go on for about a couple of years, maybe a decade (?) private land up on top of the Chrysler Building in New York.  This sound familiar?  The (?) never quite make it to the hookup, which is a nice metaphor for, or if you will, allegory (?) 10 years after it is ended by a war.  Now, with the 'trickle down' effect as it's called which is where in the 20th Century things are (?) into a smaller space and time period that you say that people who are in the media for instance instead of having a lifespn of perhaps a year, two years, a decade go on for maybe a week.  If you're Michael Jackson maybe you have three weeks to be in the Prople Magazine.  If you're not then, sorry I'm starting to ramble on a bit here, but that's no problem, we're used to it by now.  The stock market on one hand comes up 10 years later, the depression is ended by a war.  But according to the trickle down effect of 1987 as we will call it here tonight, the stock market crashed and and the war compressed into one day of (?) history, and here we stand.  MS tries to re-start his monologue during the interlude, but PB has had enough and starts back into the song with the other band members happy to join him.  MS clears his throat and finishes the song.
-Before The One I Love MM thanks the security guards "for the light show in the aisles".  MS "I wrote this song myself".
