Obviously the most fascinating prospects would be Bono and Sting.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Sting would be sad, because he'd have just begun a tantric orgasm and wouldn't be around to finish it.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Keith Richards would look back with nostalgia on the paleozoic era.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

IMAGINE THE GRAMMY TRIBUTES! Compare the fame of Joe Strummer to Bono's and remember how over the top Strummer's was. It's highly possible that the entire audience would sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" while Bono cries IN PURPLE SUNGLASSES with an all-star band (including Sting, who would let the Edge's hall of fame crack slip in the name of a greater cause) jamming behind him. THE HUGGING DEAR GOD ALL THE HUGGING.

Keith Richards would smoke a pack of cigarettes.

Sweet Jesus. It's like something out of Dante.

Mark E Smith on his impending death: "Whliutl, HAppit, blap."

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

keith richards would oil his bionic joints and check his circuits for shorts.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Lou Barlow: "It's all J. Mascis' fault"

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Warren Zevon to thread, and as an exemplar.

Bono would probably build himeself a ten-story funeral pyre in the United Nations Plaza.

― Nom De Plume (Nom De Plume), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to think Keith Richards last month on earth would resemble the film They Live. With Tom Waits playing the sidekick (except it wouldn't be hard for Keith to get Tom to put on the sunglasses) and Mick Jagger as the traitorous newswoman.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

David Crosby would ask for his sperm back. (see French Vanilla thread ILX)

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

David Lee Roth would travel around the world in a kayak.

KISS would reunite and do a tour in their original make-up!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Bob Pollard would probably release four GBV full lengths, a slew of solo albums, a couple of one-offs with noted collaboraters and compile a couple of more box sets to round out the Fading Captain series. On his final day, he would write enough "songs" for another album or two, giving strict instructions to Gillard for a posthumous tribute.
And he'd get drunk on beer.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

here's hoping he dies in his sleep then

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Cher would, uh, Cher would, um, peel off her face Scooby-Doo style to reveal that she's really Andy Rooney!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Re: Pollard
Don't forget the Magnet photo shoot.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Ryan Adams would cry. A lot. Then use his impending mortality as a sympathy card to score B-list actresses.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Bryan Adams would record, in its bonus-disc entirety, Gold.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I could see Magnet, in its grief, ceasing publication. Pollard does provide close to 25% of their yearly editorial content.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Snoop Dog?

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Snoop Dogg would rekindle his love affair with marijuana. Passionately.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

and reconcile with Girls Gone W1ld

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hurt when that partnership ended. Things just didn't seem right after that.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris Carraba would be instantly and violently killed by the stampede of twelve year olds hoping to hug him goodbye. ..ah... pipedreams!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Fred Durst might get angry.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

"To All The Panties I Have Sniffed"

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Bjork would ride away on a magical swan boat into the sky.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Axl might actually release Chinese Democracy.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

who would be most likely to become a born again christian?

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Cat Stevens

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Marilyn Manson

― kix4trids, Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

horace mann is otm!!!!!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

AHHHHH STOP SAYING THAT!
That's the 3rd time I've seen "horace OTM" today! I don't need that kind of pressure!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Ryan Adams would probably celebrate. His early demise would only further his quest to live up to every rock star cliche.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

horace mann is INOX!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

which includes scoring B-list actresses.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

in reference to the Ryan Adams thing.
And Horace Mann being OTMINOX.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

uh, what is INOX?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

ionized nitrous oxide, duh!

gets you right high, it does!

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i need of xanax

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i would like to think that Alec Empire would either make an attempt on the life of the president or start collecting bottles for the molotov cocktail party that his funeral would turn into.

― Felcher (Felcher), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

dammit! in need of xanax

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Blue Oyster Cult would realize they needed a little more cowbell and re-record such classics as Joan Crawford and In Thee under the tutelage of Bruce Dickinson... yes THE Bruce Dickinson.

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

People have been saying Shane MacGowan has 6 months to live since 1985. Given that, I don't think he'd change his excessive drinking habits at all.

― King Kobra (King Kobra), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Conor Oberst would go on a gigantic cocaine-and-prostitutes binge.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm trying to consider who would write a book.

― reo fordecor, Wednesday, 27 August 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

i expect Bob Pollard to be like Muzlimgauze, and release a few dozen albums after he buys the farm
