20 years? Make it 25 years ago. I was  a happy go lucky music lover, more open minded than i am today, less cynical, less negative and more optimistic about our great place.
 
20 years from now? being alive would be a start, still waiting for ELP to play that elusive gig i never have gotten to see.

Probably the same, except I will have moved out, maybe to some other country (probably within Europe though). Might be studying stuff still or have some pretty interesting job involving art-related things. I could also be heavily involved with music.

Basically, I have no idea, and I prefer to keep it that way rather than giving myself unrealistic goals and getting disappointed when I end up on the street or something. Sounds pessimist, but it's more like... Well it's not really pessimist anyway.

I've probably lost some of my hair in 20 years time. But i'll never shave my head completely bald!
In 20 years i think i'm working with art or something, i'll have a HUGE CD collection, a LARGE vinyl collection, and look almost like i do now, but 20 years older.

God i hope you still have hair too. Letting you go bald would be the cruelest cosmic joke ever, your hair is the best!
By the way, i didn't know you were into Chemistry..have you always been or has it come to you recently?


Chemistry has always been a love of mine...pretty much equal with music which is basically at the top of the list.

I am 47, and I have all my hair and faculties still - and I'm not planning to part with either of them any time soonLOL!


Ah but Raff, women age more gracefully than us blokes.  We lose hair and go a wee bit crazy in the head.  It'll also be the time I likely have my mid-life crisis.

The real interesting question for me is where the heck am I going to put all of my music collection in 20 years? LOL

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

20 years ago I imagined that I would now be working in a bank in Stoke. Now I live in Greece and have a job I like. Sometimes life turns out better than you expect. The secret is to have low expectations.

Hah! One of my favorite scenarios - in about 20 years time (if you take assorted chavs etc out of the equation) there will be old peoples' homes full of elderly hippies/proggers, playing their ancient CD collections at ear splitting volume.

Well meaning but talentless youngsters will pop in every week to play bad acoustic versions of songs we know & love, like 'Suppers Ready', 'The Revealing Science Of God' and 'Tarkus'...

Young nurses will make sure we're taking our drugs on a regular basis...

The place will smell of a combination of boiled cabbage, wee and patchouli oil (something like a present day Rolling Stones gig).




...and Genesis will still be denying rumours of a Gabriel reunion...

God I thought this was a prog-rock forum, not an Emo meeting place!

Face it in 20 years time, some of you may just have reached puberty!

With any luck, dead. Not that that's a fairly original response, t'would seem. Progsters must be a dour lot...
