A phonecall
‘Accept it.’
‘You are aware that it is a medium size venue, aren't you? Only 6000 seats.’
‘I don’t care. I've never performed there before. And I kind of miss doing more intimate shows after the Brazil and Rio madness…’
‘How do you want it? Serbia, Turkey, then Greece, or Greece before Turkey? And why are you breathing so hard?'
‘I’m on the treadmill. Leave Greece for last, I want to take a few days’ break on Corfu.’
‘They won’t like it.’
‘Oh please, see if I care. I signed for the compilation of my last four albums and I hate compilations!’
‘I know, I know… I still think it was a great idea. Like a comprehensive guide through your last two world tours. They always do what’s in your best interest, you know.’
‘I’m biting my tongue so hard right now…’
‘Hey, don’t be like that, please. I have some good news, anyway. Great news, that is.’
‘What is it? Wait, let me guess! Hmm… Justin liked the song, he agreed on the duet?'
‘Of course he did, you knew he would, but that’s not it.’
‘Oh… oh, I know! My Bond theme is number one on iTunes this week as well.’
‘You are so spoiled, I swear. Yes to that, too, but that’s not my news. Are you sitting down?’
‘Yes, I have a cutesy little seat on the treadmill.’
‘Get off.’
‘All right, all right, hang on… I’m off.’
‘It’s… it’s the Nobel Prize, Adam. You are being considered for the human rights category.’
….
‘Hey, are you still there?’
‘Is this a joke? It’s a joke. Don’t do that to me.’
‘No. Quote,
he has contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in the world for the past decade, end quote. I think it was your involvement in the Russian situation that tipped the scale to your side.’
‘Well, I don’t want it. It’s ridiculous.’
‘Don’t you think you deserved it? You risked your life, you published a book, you helped! I…’
‘Look… I don’t know what to say. I did what needed to be done, that’s it. Please, call someone. Deal with it behind the curtains. Can you do that for me?’
‘Would you at least think about it, please? Sleep on it at least?’
‘No, sorry. I’m tired, I have to go. The stories about night life in Belgrade are not even a tiny bit exaggerated, I’ll have you know. And my contact lady, Aleksandra? She is so awesome! She’s taking me white water rafting tomorrow.’
‘Oh, you’re such a kid sometimes. Adam, you… You sound happy. And I’m happy for you, I’m glad you’re having fun.’
‘I am, Shosh. So much fun!’
