That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about. There's this thing in my  
religion about not wearing someone else's hat. What you risk is  
mixing their brain waves with yours. This also extends to shoes. What  
you would be doing is walking in someone else's footsteps. As for  
harmonicas, you're breathing someone else's breath.

Naaaah, count me out. I can't think of 3 people I would less rather  
mix with than these three.

It's hero worship. I never was into that. I don't understand why  
people can't be themselves. But some people like to live in an alter- 
world.
