[Misc] Top rock star or International footballer?

[Swansman]

Very easy. Anyone saying that they wouldnt like to be on a stage, play passionate, excellent music in front of a crowd that absorb the emotions you sned out from the stage... is lying.

Football is fantastic but there is no type of entertainment, culture or hobby that beats music.

Think I would choose to be the photographer David Bailey not a rock star or a footballer I know

 

[Moshe Gariani]

A famous footballer, a rock singer or a big film star. Yes, I think I would like that.

No contest, my fantasy always was to be a musician ( I cannot play a note )
It would have to be quality, even if that did not bring the greatest success.
I can dream....

I am tone deaf, can't sing and can't play an instrument.I would have loved to be able to do something musically however I was quite good at most sports but particularly wanted to be a footballer, boxer snooker player, golfer.

My little by of 3 is actually really good at football but i would never want him to be a footballer. Golf is the sport i'd like him to play, more gentlemanly crowds.

A pop star, without the hard drugs.

Love reading their autobio’s, eventful lives to say the least. Would love to have done half the stuff Hookie of Joy Division/New Order got up to.

Top footballers enjoy a pampered life, but there are a load of restrictions that come with playing sport, plus there life is timetabled until they retire.

Quality? - hmmm ..... maybe.

Been playing music for 50 years - zenith was local radio in the 1980s - but you know what? Would love to have been a one hit wonder, no matter how crappy!

After these few weeks, I wish I was blessed to be able to use my skills in the NHS.

I am too old now but when I was taking my o levels and a levels I do wish I was pushed more into science subjects rather than arts subjects so I could have made a difference rather than being a paper pusher in my,life.

I work with musicians, some hugely successful, some jobbing and some desperately trying to climb the ladder. It’s a lifestyle choice, and is not for the faint hearted. Charlie Watts is often quoted ‘being in the Stones was 5% playing and 95% hanging around’, and that’s where the rot often sets in. Away from home for months at a time, moved from venue to bus, to hotel, with 4am bus calls and a body clock that never settles into a time zone.
Despite all that, given the chance I’d be a successful musician. I’ve chased that dream and now settled for being in a bang average pub band. I still love a kick about in the park but nothing comes close for me, to being in a band and seeing people enjoying live music

You must Be a bit older than me, but my 'goal' and the bar to success was, for me, always TOTP. As a kid in the late 70's 80's if you made TOTP you,were a pop star.

Got a deal with a band mid 90's a bit on MTV, MM NME, few tours, etc but never got that extra rung or two up the ladder.

Spot on.

I'd love to be able to play an instrument to a good standard. I have the ability within me to do it, but not the time to practice. I'd have loved to have been able to play football to a good standard, but without the ability it wouldn't have mattered how much I practiced
Alas, being a football playing rock star will remain deep in the realms of my subconscious

I used to love that song. But it doesn't feel right with him SIGNING it.

Ahem !

Yep, that would have been good too (even if dressed as a Womble!) Guess being a one hit wonder would have achieved that too along the way.

Bow down emoji (if I knew how to do one!)

We were called Moloko plus, changed our name To Shiner just before we signed our deal as moloko had just had a minor hit/breakthrough. deal was 3 singles and an album, but it all went tits up after 2 singles. Record company ran out of money and 2 of the band gave up. A waste really as I think we would have made more of it had we stuck together. We had a lot of fun though.

Top international footballer, retire at 34 and put on a bit of weight.

Then do shite punditry for several years until everyone realises I’m terrible and have no charisma because all I’ve done with my life was play football.

And X-Box
