The Prophesised Situation is Real in its Consequences:
The Mega Happy Ending
By Daniel Simpkins
'If you book them, they will come' advises Jim Morrison and the weird naked Indian to Wayne as he dreams. Sceptical but with little alternative, upon waking Wayne follows the advice and continues to publicise performances by world renowned rock bands to headline his upcoming festival, Waynestock.
The day of the festival, yet to have any contact with the bands, Wayne is extremely anxious. Crowds turn up in their thousands but in the absence of any performers a riot seems inevitable. As the crowd grows increasingly restless, Wayne calls a final time upon Jim and the Indian for advice; whilst offering little in terms of assistance, Jim congratulates Wayne on giving the festival his best shot; at least he tried. But, just as the situation appears ultimately doomed, Aerosmith appear and play an awesome show to the delight of all present. Whilst Aerosmith perform, Pearl Jam and Van Halen can be seen being escorted from a limousine-length mirthmobile car by the naked Indian as Jim's prophesy materialises. The closing credits run.
1993 comedy Wayne's World 2
