If I got the opportunity to be who John Perry Barlow was to the Grateful Dead - a guy who writes the lyrics for a really popular band but isn't in the band, doesn't have to tour, etc - I think I'd knock that out of the park. I'd also like to edit clunky poetry in children's books so it scans.

This is a HUGE bugaboo of mine. I enjoy collecting kids' books based on adult pop culture (Star Trek, Alien, the like) and *so often* as long as the lines rhyme it's considered good enough. I'm here to tell you it's NOT!
