And, getting Chris Robinson (click the link to see his “how to roll a joint” instructional video) to be our best friend and share his weed and beer and women with us. Then drive us back to his place where we could hang out with him and his brother and his kids and eventually end up  in his home studio where he’d shower us with compliments and good food and free guitars and stickers and then write a kick-ass new album dedicated to us all about how cool we are. And, then let us sleep in his bed that night right next to him and make us waffles in the morning…but, sadly that never happened…(sigh).
