Maybe they're insecure and they want attention. Or maybe they are just stupid. either one

If you could travel back in time and meet any one musician or composer (whom is dead), who would it be and why?

Correction: Little late now, but just realized for the New Year's resolution question I said "start" smoking instead of "stop  :-X"  So sorry about that, I meant stop, I do that a lot in chats and emails, probably related to the same issues I have with left and right.  Don't smoke, kiddos, it's bad for you!

Anyway, just to keep the conversation going...

A: Schubert, so I can tell him to hurry up and finish his symphony.

Q: What other unfinished (or unbegun) symphony or work would you have most liked to see finished, and why.   
Haydn: Sonata in C No. 35
Scarlatti: K. 1, 380, 443
Blasco de Nebra: Sonata V
Handel: Fantasia in C G.60
Couperin: La Reville Matin
Rameau: La Dauphine
Pachelbel, Trabaci, Frescobaldi: Various

I don't cosplay. I've seen alot of pictures and while I was studying Japanese I obviously had some in my class that did. It's funny I think, some costumes are really well done and I have great respect for those that make their own, what an art to be able to copy cartoon characters outfits and hairstyles etc.
But I don't really see the point in doing it myself, I enjoy watching :)
