Damn, no shortage of imaginative people here! I wasn't quite expecting this (obviously I'm new here); this is a really fun forum. Add me to the list of guitar players. Hey, we need a bass!

If I could contribute anything, it'd be my experiences, like in that movie where somebody invented a machine which would record memories, and then others could play them back; actually experience them. You guys could see Jimi Hendrix play, go to Woodstock (no, I mean the real one), smash up a motorcycle, parachute, scuba dive, sail in the ocean, do acid, be in love so much nothing else matters, etc. I'd include all the mistakes I've made too, so you could all have a good laugh, and avoid doing some of the totally stupid things I have.

I hope there'd be enough freedom there to be challenged once in a while; I've found that life isn't so interesting if you're always provided with whatever you want. We need contrast in order to appreciate the good things, I think. You may not like miserable weather, pain, etc., but I believe that if everything's perfect all the time, the result is boredom. Just one old guys opinion.

However, I'd be willing to try a massive overdose of pleasure, just to see how much I could still handle. (What do you say, Rachel?)
