Then I'd push McCartney in front of a bus, return to our timeline, and see if a middle-aged non-musician could take the pop world by storm writing and releasing Beatles song from memory.

Nah, Detroit in 1969, the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges, but then I would likely be beaten senseless as a narc being a bald overweight 59 year old in a room full of 19 year olds.

I would pick Joy Division’s final show. There are lots of bands I never got to see but they’re at the top of the list.

XTC at Mac Hall, January 1979 with Subhumans.

Queen, Jubilee Auditorium, March 16, 1977.

That could be a good thread - concerts you wish you saw.

It would take a lot of planning, but there must be some way to go back and alter something so that the oilers never get McDavid. I'd gladly use my day for that.

Going forward by any extended amount of time is a sure death wish. Go forward a few months, maybe a year, and bring back stock tips.

Or go back and just make sure you don’t eff things up.
