Time Travel

I'd go back to 1965 ( I was 7 yrs old). I'd tell my younger self to work his a$$ off so he could spend all his money on vinyl LP records. Buy one to play the livin' crap outta and one to archive unopened, I'd tell him his life depended on it, and that he needed to buy the first pressings and as many Vertigo Swirl labels as he could get his hands on. I'd explain that he will be the envy of all his friends... (ok, male friends. but whatever). Then I would give him a list of artists to secure and unique package releases to obtain.  I'd grow old knowing life is GOOD.

There's so much music that's been created in the past 1000 years that I have yet to discover, plus whatever music will be released in my lifetime. I'm honestly not that interested in adding another 1000 years of music to explore when I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there currently.

I was there. The only time I saw ELP. It was good, but not in my top 20 gigs.

Oh that's good.  That's very good

Then back a little further to Trump Senior.....

Weird ... I have a lot of "favorites" and all that but me going to spend time with the Amon Duul commune? Not even stoned immaculate! Me going back to watch the girls get frisked at the Rathskeller the same week that a student was shot in Ohio? Me sharing a small apartment with Space Pirate Radio's Guy Guden in its early days? (lots of fun there!).

I saw a lot of "big names" in the arts ... maybe the only thing I wish for is not a time travel, but that people can see and watch how nice and valuable all these folks and arts were at the time, and how so ignored and wasted they are looked at today ... Yehudi Menuhin and Ravi Shankar is one. Tangerine Dream at the Greek Theater with the trees getting lit up by the lasers (picture on the Encore album!!!) would be something worth reliving and enjoying, but I would rather have Edgar Froese having tea and crumpets with us, than have to live a memory lane stuff that is ... very depressing for me.

I would like to see one last thing ... more respect from the commercial side of things for the rest of the arts ... all of them are suffering horribly in America, and have been a laughing stock since a couple of presidents some 40 years ago started removing as much money from the arts as they could ... the reason why? Almost all of the arts were handled by "liberal" folks and used on a couple of networks well known for trashing some really big _________ (use your own!) folks ... 

Sometimes I think that too few people (other than this thread ... wow ... thanks everyone) have as much appreciation for rock music as they do classical and more importantly, the history of music and the arts ... not the hysterectomy and killing of the frog in our own hearts!

Since Captain Bob never wrote a script it would have to be based upon this, which wasn't that great tbh:
