Channelling

If you could 'channel' the spirit of any one (obviously deceased) person, who would it be?

Mick Ronson all the way, for me. Nobody but Mick can seamlessly fuse punk, metal, blues and SEX into a thirty-second solo like Mick.

Samuel Clemens, because I would love to hear what he has to say about the state of the world, today.

Freddie Mercury....

Well, that's my choice as long as the laws of channeling permit a solo in voice. Otherwise my choice is my dog "pepper" that died when I was 12.

Nice choice with pepper, bluesky.

I'd like to hear from Sylvia Plath. I'd imagine she'd be pissed!

I would have to have someone else do the channelling for me, or run a tape recorder, as I tend not to be able to recall the channelled information afterwards.

I would like to be able to have a conversation with my father. I had not had much contact with him in the years before his death, and there's a lot I would like to know.

I'd go for Gregory Efimovich Rasputin. You just *know* he was a riot at parties.

Alternately, I'd pick David Caruso's career. Might be tougher to contact than ole Rasputin, however, being rather more obscure and a bit more decomposed...

And he invented the lighter!

I'd like to channel Robert Benchley.

Hang out, have a few bevvies, a few laughs.

If he's not a vailable I'd like E.B. White to explain, again, the whole semi colon thing; I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Mick must have invented the lighter fluid, then.
