If I could meet anyone, I’d go with someone who’s been dead for a long time. It doesn’t even matter who. Abe Lincoln, Genghis Kahn, Socrates, doesn’t matter. Then when people ask I would be like, “yeah, I freakin’ met that guyâ€. The tough part then is finding ways to bring it up in conversation. It might go something like this...
Person A: “ Some weather out there, huh?â€
Andy: “Yeah, it’s definitely hat weather. And you know who wears hats? My friend Abe Lincoln! The only time he takes it off is when he’s posing for penny portraits. He even has a chin-strap for a beard!â€
Me and Abe could be good buddies. We’d go snowboarding, walk around downtown on photo excursions and take road trips together. It’s gunna be awesome.
Since I play, I love all things bass. Especially Les Claypool stuff.
