Live music is irreplaceable. Music makes everything better! It can take you places, remind you of past events, change or heighten your mood, imply a message, poeticise your own experiences, I'd be devastated without that.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><STRONG>If you could be part of any band/group for a day who would that be and why?</STRONG> </FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000">So hard! Maybe <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/78xUyw6FkVZrRAtziFdtdu" target="_self">The Roots</A>. They've done some insane collaborations across so many genres, and obviously they're on Jimmy Fallon.
