Far be it from me to want to tell anybody what to do, but I did give some thought to what I'd like to see of Mudcatters ruled the world. Just suggestions, remember....

1) The practise of law would be banned and lawyers would be forced to do something useful.

2) Doctors would be required to LISTEN to their patients.

3) Electric-guitar players would be allowed out of their homes only on alternate Wednesdays.

4) Bob Dole would be prohibited from making commercials.

5) It would be a civic duty to lob a grenade into every boom car (after giving the occupants a chance to run, of course).

6) Banjo players would be restrained until the urge passes.

7) Ovation guitars would be melted and reformed as search-and-rescue helicopters.

8) All Frank Sinatra CDs would be recycled with Ewan MacColl tunes.

9) Kenneth Starr would have to marry Monica Lewinsky.

10) Nation states would be dissolved and replaced by shared-music areas.

11) Sylvester Stallone and Jean-Claude van Dame would have to repair all the damage they've done.

12) Anyone who wanted to rule the world << or even one other person << would be restrained until the urge passes.

pax and good music....
