What would you do...

...if you only had a few years left, or an even more restricted period of time? What would you do? What experiences in life would you want to take part in before your inevitable demise? I think I would probably do something similar to Hunter S. Thompson's infamous venture into the heart of Las Vegas with almost every conceivable psychedelic, upper, downer...

I'd probably just kick around on a piece of ground in my hometown, waiting for someone or something to show me the way..

Seriously, I would get so wrecked. I would indulge in allthe things you're not supposed to for either health, financial or moralistic reasons. I would go out with a bang. Probably after having seen the following:

The Northern Lights
Paris
Grand Canyon
The Rockies
San Fransisco
The Pyramids
A Genesis Reunion
A few more Rush concerts

I'm far too aware of my own mortality already. I don't think I'd change my behavior too much, unfortunately.

Though I would like to travel more. See the Parthenon, the Pyramids, Easter Island, Carnival in Rio, go on safari in Africa and walkabout in the outback. I've never experienced Absinthe, either. And unless there's a "Make a Wish" foundation for dying musicians, I'll probably never get to jam with my musical heroes...so like Viv said in Spinal Tap: "I'd probably get a bit stupid and start to make a fool of myself in public 'cause there wouldn't be a stage to go on."

Interesting topic:

Travel with my family.

Lots of quality time with my wife & kids.

Read more classics, eat more fine food, hear more fine music, ride more fine motorcycles, write a letter to the editor, give up the internet....

The drugs? Those were my teens & 20s -- been there, done that -- nothing new to see there....

I would spend my life savings on music and leave my family with tons of CDs, vinyl, and tapes. Then I would walk around naked in public for shock value until I was arrested for nudity.

Oh, and I'd buy an 8 voice Oberheim OB-X or a minimoog.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Is that going to be a big change Pablo?

Interesting prospect.

I'd buy a sail boat, gather the wife and kids and head south towards Brazil. Then across the Atlantic (it's a big boat) to Africa on a north east route. Then onwards to Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean where I would head to Italy and later Greece. Along the way I would eat all the local foods, drink in the culture and settle down to the business of dying having learned and shared new things with my family before I go.

You mean killed by a railroad cop? I didn't know you were a hobo!

Haha, basically what I said.
