If I had a time machine

[Zeek]

Ok If I had a time machine. Where and What would i do?
We know from three of the GREATEST movies ever made (Back to the Future I,II,III) that interaction to change the future will upset the space-time continuum so getting rid of bad people or tragedy's is out, and no you cant save your fav guitar from breaking the head stock.
But if you had a time machine Where, What would you do?
Go see a World Series, Super bowl, Space launch, Woodstock, The Beatles on Ed Sullivan?
I would use it daily lol. I would go see concerts I wish I could have seen.
Albert King tonight, B B King tomorrow, Freddie King, Dean Martin, The Rat pack at the Sands, Probably a couple three shows a day,
Three Albert shows in one day at three different venues lol,
If he played Ill be dog gone in concert 100 times I go to everyone just to hear it !!
So what are you doing, where are you going?

I’d go to 42nd St in NYC and spend a month hopping from movie theater to movie theater and watch every crazy exploitation/horror/adult/spaghetti-western/king fu movie showing. Anytime between 1970 and 1980 would be fine with me.

Watch a movie. Play a record. Read a book. We’re not going back. Quantum mechanics won’t allow it. Entropy won’t allow it. Time’s arrow points in one direction only.

 

[wabash slim]

Wouldn't want to go back. Medicine was terrible, politics were bad.
Going forward would be confusing and probably disappointing.

I am leaving right after the show

Yeah, I wouldn’t be back there to get too involved in the culture. I just wanna watch some classic sleazy cinema on 35mm!

 

[blueruins]

I’d go back and hang with my Grandma; ain’t no movie, concert or attraction better than that.

 

[Marv666]

I would go see a bunch of concerts and buy some vintage Gretsch while they were affordable

Ya I would like to hang with both my grandfathers as the passed when I was young but ...
That will upset the space-time continuum.
So just like in the present I will have no interaction with anyone and watch the show alone ... Then leave

 

[Ricochet]

Study harder, treat my hobbies/interests as investments and pursue them with more focus and determination.

I would only go to next week and check out the lottery numbers. Then next week I'd order a White Falcon.

There are certainly decisions I would have made differently, had I known then, what I know now. Time travel makes for great fiction, but if you could actually go back in time, you would also lose that knowledge you would like to be able to apply to decisions you made in the past.

So, let’s suppose that you made a poor investment with your retirement fund, and lost money, because of a decision you made three years ago. If you traveled back three years, you would almost certainly make the same decision, because if you literally traveled back in time three years, you would only know the same things as you knew three years ago, and you’d repeat the choice.

Are there musicians I wish I could have seen? Sure! Chicago, BB King, SRV, Buck and the Buckaroos. Strangely, as the years pass, I find myself less inclined to think about opportunities lost. I’m here, it’s today, and I can only live this moment in time.

1982.

Back in ’82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

I’m dead serious…How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?… Yeah… If Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would’ve been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind. I’d have gone pro…in a heartbeat. I’d be makin’ millions of dollars and… livin’ in a… big ol’ mansion somewhere.

"I’m here, it’s today, and I can only live this moment in time."

The recipe to happiness. You can't change the past, future isn't here yet. You need to enjoy today. That's what you have.
