Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!

Good question. I think I would go back to the late 1800's. It's my favorite historical timeperiod, and I would go back to the year 1889 when Charles and Myrtle Filmfore found the Unity Church. I would like to know what really inspired them to start this movement. I have my suppositions, but that is based entirely on my reading of Unity materials. I'd like to know what thing(s) really motivated them.

Old, always. The original Nutty Professor outshines the new remake by about a gazillion. I love old movies, the storylines, the creative ways they did the effects. It's just better, and not done with an easy way out. Today's movies have a lot of bells and whistles, but everything is accomplished through the computer and special effects.

My only regret is not having studied what I wanted to study when I was younger and at the University. I wanted to study music, but my mother kept saying that she would not support me if I studied it. Later I realized that she didn't really support me at all, and that I should have just gone ahead and studied it anyway. Music has always been a passion of mine, and if I had studied it, I probably could have done a bit more with it than I am now. Of course, I didn't do much with Russian Studies or Political Science, so why this was even up for debate is still a mystery to me some 15-16 years later.

To be completely honest, I think there is far too much uncreative stuff going on in music. Too many covers and not enough originality. If a band or a group can do a cover here and there, then that is fine, but to get their claim to fame solely from copying the work of someone else is just not right. Being a lyricist, I am looking for music that speaks to me on many levels. Not just going about and saying a whole lot of nothing. To me, that is what will last the test of time. IN ten or fifteen years, the fads and trends will probably die off to other fads or trends, but the music of really accomplished musicians and songs that really say something, will stil be performed in karaoke bars around the world and people will know these songs by heart.

The people who have inspired me over the years have been, Peter Tork, Robert Hays, John Dye (still reeling that he's passed on), Della Reese, Julie Andrews, Gene Wilder, Richard Chamberlain, and Chris de Burgh. Those are the prominants, but the ones I know in real life are my father, who overcame alcoholism before he died, my husband, who saved me from an abusive relationship, and many of my friends, who have been strong in the face of adversity, and who have accepted me for the person I am. All of these people have inspired good things in me, whether it be spiritual, musical, or emotional.

I would tell her to not be afraid of being herself or of telling the truth. It may be painful, but the truth is something very profound and it would save one a great deal of 'trouble' later on. That's a great question, and it reminds me of a movie I watched about a 27 year old woman who did meet up with her former self. It's called 'Only Yesterday'.
