Voice

[ourworldnow]

[A young, cheerful voice comes over the airwaves, accompanied by the idle strumming (for now) of a guitar.]

Helllllo Santa Rosita. Louis here- just arrived and happy to be alive. Let’s skip the normal oh my god, what even bit for now. I’ve come, I’ve seen, I ate at the lunch party. Hey there, new mom and dad!

I have a much more important moral quandary for all you good people. It’s 1961, yeah? And, uh, I’m from not then. I don’t even know if my original flavor parents are alive yet. Meaning we are in prime Marty McFly problems zone.

[The idle strumming suddenly switches to (an acoustic version) of the opening notes of Smoke on the Water]

Would it be, like, totally wrong to record future hits and make a ridiculous amount of money?

[Now it’s the opening notes of Stairway to Heaven]

I’d have to stick to whatever rocks these old guys socks, I know, I know. So more like-

[He switches to Yesterday]

Oh, I believe in getting paid….

[The guitar playing stops suddenly as he laughs.]

Whadda ya think? Anyone ready to form a band? Yes? No? Get a lawyer? Give a guy some feedback.

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.

[He’s going to play through that whole song (though not sing) if no one answers. Save the good people of the town and tell him to stop.]

Not necessarily. Just being here doesn't automatically change the timeline drastically but when you start actively trying to change things that's another story.

You're making my head hurt. I can't unknown what I know.

No one is telling to stop knowing what you know. But just because you know the Beatles and whoever else are going to have some hits doesn't mean you should poach their success. Besides the Beatles also had the basic white boy looks going for them too. So it wasn't just their music that was attracting the masses.

You don't know how incredibly attractive the face this musical talent goes with is, man. And I have way better hair.
