Go to the Dakota Building late in the evening of 8 December 1980, and crash-tackle Mark David Chapman.

I’d probably go to see last (or any of the last ones) concert of Joy Division.

Well, this is a tough one, as there are literally thousands and thousands of things I’d want to do with a functioning time machine (for instance; I’d definitely fly out to Napoleon’s neck of the woods and pick up Uncle Rico so he could get back to the 1980’s … like many, I’ll never rest until I see if he can throw that football over those mountains). After that quick stop-off, I think I’d jet over to London and find Mr. Strummer … I’d beg him to come with me to one of London’s leading cardiologists and we’d get that damn heart defect fixed up so it wouldn’t fail and take him away from music). Since I’m limited with my text here, I’ll just add one more stop … I’d rush over to Joseph Jackson’s house, right after Michael was born. I’d find Mrs. Jackson a new good man and put Joe and his pencil-thin con man moustache into the Witness Protection Program in some distant territory. Michael would grow up normal, the Jackson 5 would never come into existence (yes, they produced a handful (but no more than that) of gems but we’d get along without Ben, Dancin’ Machine and One Bad Apple …). The planet would be far better, the children would go un-diddled, Tito could live without that heavy chip on his shoulder and, Lord Almighty, no crazy-ass Latoya selling time on the Psychic Network!) and The Osmonds would be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with ABBA and Madonna! Upon my return from this travel through space and time, I’d be welcomed back with a massive ticker-tape parade in NYC’s Canyon of Heroes and I’d really deserve it, don’t you think?
With nothin’ but love for the planet,
Chris

I would like a time machine so I could go back and buy a brand new 1959 Fender Stratocaster then attend Buddy Holly’s final performance where I’d get him to sign and date the scratchplate.

I had a ticket to go with a friend and see Elton John at Madison Square Garden the day after Thanksgiving, 1974. Thanksgiving afternoon I get a call from a different friend. He’s younger than me–I was a sophomore in college then–and wants to know if I want to go with him to see Elton John Thanksgiving night. His folks won’t let him go to the show without someone older to accompany him.

It’s a rainy, dreary day. I’m going from Connecticut to see Elton John the next night. I say, nah, why don’t you call Randy–maybe he’ll want to go into New York City to see Elton John two nights in a row.

Thanksgiving night, 1974: John Lennon joins Elton John on stage to perform “Whatever Gets You Through the Night,” “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and “I Saw Her Standing There.” Afterward, Lennon reunites with Yoko. It is the last live performance of John Lennon’s life.

He does not return and perform with Elton John the next night, the night I go to the concert.

May I borrow that time machine? I have a mistake to correct…
