You mentioned another first memory, a second one.
Oh, this is the fun one.
The other one was quite enjoyable, actually.
I'm six, OK?
I'm in bed and I'm dreaming.
And I'm walking along, and it's like the Simpsons.
The sky is very, very blue.
You know that beautiful, deep, deep blue?
And there's Simpsons-style clouds in the sky.
It's absolutely beautiful.
And this is in my dream.
A hand comes out of the sky.
like this, like the lottery hand, and it points at me, and it's a white hand, by the way, with a silk cuff and beautifully manicured fingernails, and a voice says, you, like that.
And I thought, have I won the lottery?
What the hell's going on?
And I just didn't know what it was, and I didn't tell anybody for ages, but I kind of think...
The voice in the dream was telling me that something was going to happen to me.
Never thought about it for ages.
And I've been thinking about it.
I'm 67 now.
