If you could be an artist or a group or an actor for a day who would you be? | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 578 Registered: 04-2005 |
Richard Thompson. To have that incredible guitar talent...wow. | ||

Isaac Hayes | ||

Are you a Scientologist, Hardin? | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 758 Registered: 03-2006 |
No, I just figured that way I could finally carry off that "hairy bare chest with heavy gold chains" look. | ||

Probably Elvis Costello or Picasso | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 759 Registered: 03-2006 |
Picasso's a great one, Jerry. He sure knew how to live large - wine, women, song, etc...Though he had some pretty hard-nosed attitudes about women in his life. I read that when asked if he'd rather he see an ex-lover dead or happy, he said, "Dead. Every time."....Okay, Pablo... | ||

Evan Dando - talented, good looking, and an heir to the family fortune. (Inspired by listening to the new Lemonheads album, first listen, but sounds ok) | ||

So you'd spend the one day killing off your parents in undetectable ways and changing the will so that everything goes to "that wonderful guy Kevin"?  | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 390 Registered: 08-2004 |
That's right Hardin & he never got called an asshole. I'll have to think about this one. | ||

John Travolta! Summer Lovin, D.I.S.C.O. nights with the Bee Gees, hanging around with Samuel L., flying a jumbo, gotta be the way to go! | ||

Jerry also picked a good one in Elvis Costello. Living with Diana Krall in Vancouver, that's a good thing!! I think Humphrey Bogart had a great life, made some great movies, married Lauren Bacall. I pick Boggie for a day as my actor choice. Musician, Duane Allman, March of 1971 when the Allman Brothers recorded "Live At The Filmore" He must have been in heaven during some of those great slide guitar parts! I'll add Jackie Stewart for a day in 1973 at the German Grand Prix at The Nurburgring! A 14 mile long track that the F1 drivers used to run at up to 1977. They still race there, but not on the 14 mile long version of the track. | ||

Michael, you open up some interesting avenues of thought...It's not adhering to the rules of the thread-creator's game, because they are not artists or actors, but I'd like to be one of the Apollo astronauts. My girlfriend is not unattractive, I play the guitar, may even write a hit song some day,can drive too fast on PCH, but sadly, chances are I'll probably never get to walk on the moon. So I'm changing my answer to Neil Armstrong, the day he first set foot on the moon. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 190 Registered: 04-2006 |
i am not sure if i want to be on the moon, but for sure to fly into space and have alook at our tiny, little and beautiful world must be overwhelming. as i read this thread immediately came JONATHAN RICHMAN to my mind. nice man, always a smile on his face, this childlike innocence and a lot of good music . in some way -when i think of jonathan richman- i always think that he have a totally satisfied and peaceful live. and i think everyone wishes that. | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 582 Registered: 04-2005 |
Really, Jonathan Richman? Interesting choice. I don't know that much about the guy, but I always wondered if that childlike innocence was a conscious effort to transcend a dark past or something like that. He's a notoriously difficult interview subject who won't talk about his personal life, which makes me wonder. Or maybe he's just happy and very private. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 194 Registered: 04-2006 |
kurt, i don't know this. in principle i just know the facts of his musical career, nothing about his private life. but someone who likes harpo marx and wrote a song about him must be a good one. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 195 Registered: 04-2006 |
michael, or dickey betts. he must be in heaven too when he played 'in memory of elizabeth reed'. oh, how i love this song. | ||

Not an artist, group or actor, but I'd like to be my 22-year-old self again, but retaining the knowledge garnered in the intervening 17 years. | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 392 Registered: 08-2004 |
I wouldn't mind being 16 again, try to be less of a piss artist & know my limit. | ||
| jerry hann Member Username: Jerry_h Post Number: 231 Registered: 07-2005 |
I think we would all second that Jerry,all my crimes and misdemeanors have occured under the influence,when sober I'm quite reasonable. | ||

Right you are Andreas! Check out The ABB Live at S.U.N.Y Sept 19th 1971. It's only a 2 track recording, and the mixer is tweaking and improving the sound during the first few songs, but's it's got a very rare and possibly the best ever live version of "Blue Sky", and it's with Duane! Also a killer "Dreams". http://www.amazon.com/S-U-N-Y-Stonybrook-Allman-Brothers-Band/dp/B000HTY2GC/sr=1 -41/qid=1158335277/ref=sr_1_41/102-6709605-3805738?ie=UTF8&s=music The Brothers left the road a few weeks later in late September. Shortly therafter Duane had his fateful motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia. It was a year to the day that he had overdossed and nearly died, and Berry Oakley pleaded to God to give him one more year. Duane revived and got just one more year. That's a true story from a good source I read. Pretty freaky! | ||
