Me and Neil and my friend Steve from Seattle went looking for the Largest Cathedral in America. Tom said it was anyway, but I thought he was getting mixed up, or I expected cathedrals to be really small in America. Because didn't all big cathedrals get built about the time of the Vikings? So
we went up on the tube to 116th Street, and got lost a bit, and then we found it. It was the largest building I'd ever
seen. The funny thing was that we were originally meant to play in this place. U2 would have trouble pulling it off in there. We could've played in the f***ing vestry! There was a 43 second reverb up the nave. The sound would have been like condensed soup. Nice place, though. I wandered in and out of the nine or so smaller chapels behind the alter. Chapels to Saint Columbus, Saint James, Saint some others. I had an ecclesiastical dump in the toilets which were through the cathedral shop. There was confessional graffiti in the bogs. I lost track of time a bit, and when i got out Neil and Steve had been waiting for some time. Neil told me that Steve didn't hang around in the cathedral. Although he liked it, he felt a bit strange being a fag in a holy place. We walked Steve to his hostel and then to his bus. At the stop Neil bought a vanilla sports shake. He said it was 'the very dorts' and we agreed. Me and Steve went to buy the same shake. We stood on the corner all drinking from the distinctive design of can, looking like three tubes. Everyone felt sick after for ages. We say Steve on to the bus, and he was sad because he had a good time, and we wouldn't see him again for ages. Also,
he doesn't have a proper boyfriend in Seattle, so consequently he is always giving to people but never really taking.
Well, more logs to the fire, or whatever it should be. The boy Murdoch is obviously a religious freak after all. This very nice tour diary extract has given me a good laugh, so it becomes fantastic B&S moment number 22. Andy Dean typing it out for the rest of us is number 23. Thanks. Number 24 is one that I forgot: "bloodygreat St. Bernard dog". Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
