Okay the fantasy is this: I walk into a bar and the only people in there are Tom Waits, Keith Richards, John Lurie and Jim Jarmusch. After hours of drinking and smoking and playing cards, Keith, Tom and I go shopping for boots and return to the bar to watch John Hammond Jr. play and then I die happy and go to heaven and there I am greeted by Hunter S. Thompson, Jackson Pollock, and Bill Graham.....
