OMG!! if it's THAT good then sign me up!!! I just turned 30 and i seriusly cant wait to be 40. I have everything i ever wanted and some things i didnt (but those things come with age). I look forward to more gray hair, my children growing up, adn becoming an old fogey. I cant wait until todays music become classics and tomorrows music is remakes of the classics......

please tell me this is all possible....
