mods plz lock old poll all new choices for cookoff go here

You should have included Marc Bolan for being there on the shirt.

don't make me start another poll

in da skreets we do not hesitate to start polls

Prince only cooks strawberries, chocolate, and champagne.

Needs John Cougar Mellencamp as a fifth option

Well I read in an interview that Iggy does a good steak with peppercorns. Prince would probably get one of his minions to cook something. Lou I can see eating hot dogs bought from a street vendor. Bowie I have no idea.

Although I voted for Lou, because a hot dog would go down well right now.

uh

don't forget, prince does pancakes too

and cream!

iggy would probably bleed on whatever he was cooking

that would not be tasty

can bowie, iggy or lou ball as well as prince? maybe lou -- he is from NYC after all.

But which of them would have the most successful George Foreman style kitchen appliance? I vote for Iggy Pop's Giant Sausage... Making Machine.

haha, some visual and written evidence that lou is a baller!

Lou Reed Wants Your Attention at Basketball Games

shot caller

twenty inch blades

on the impala

Lou strikes me as the most cooking-oriented personality - Bowie's too busy eating weird shit at expensive restaurants, Prince is on some snooty neo-vegan bullshit that probably is terrible, and Iggy's too WILD to spend time in the kitchen. Lou, however, has the perverse maternal streak - I can picture him whipping up brunch in his bathrobe while reading the NYT and complaining about the art show he went to last night.

WOAH @ Lou's ladyfriend

Thank fuck for that, Eisbaer, I thought that by "balling" you meant sex, and I was thinking "who the fuck says 'balling' anymore?". Yeah, but Lou loves his basketball though - his primary reason for giving up smoking was that it affected his playing.

I think all of these guys would be so incredibly railed on cocaine that they wouldn't eat for a very, very long time. And then when they did it would probably be like a piece of white bread or something.

this is so obviously bowie.

Bowie's too busy eating weird shit at expensive restaurants

true story: i used to work at the AXA Tower in the Theater District. there's some obscenely expensive/chichi French restaurant on the ground floor -- one night, when i was going home i saw a bunch of limos outside the restaurant. one of the building security people told me that there was some sort of benefit going on there that night, and guess who was one of the guests at said benefit -- yup, david bowie.

like im sure iggy has only eaten spaghetti-o's and corn flakes for the past 15 years. i wouldn't trust him w/ a meal.

Bowie's coke diet - milk, coke, red & green peppers. Fortunately that was back in the 70's.

I bet Prince will still throw down on some bbq from time to time.

he's been known to host them -- and softball games.

like im sure iggy has only eaten spaghetti-o's and corn flakes for the past 15 years. i wouldn't trust him w/ a meal.

maybe up till the early/mid 80s -- iggy's too buff these days to be living offa that kinda diet. that said, i wouldn't trust him w/ a meal either -- he probably eats lotsa energy bars.

I read once that Bowie's favourite food is osso bucco, although whether he can make it himself is another matter

I bet Bowie makes great Thai.

Iggy was into eating at every Japanese restaurant he could find back in da early '80s--this according to an ancient Creem magazine interview.

Iggy was macrobiotic for a bit, too. He's no knuckle-dragger.

i hope we are all voting

Hey, it's gotta be la Bowie for me--even though Iggy once said that Dave was all man; whereas Jim was a...er...real woman. Man, I really fuckin' miss my Creem back-issues.

Iggy was macrobiotic for a bit, too.

Ironically that was around the time of the Stooges first album, which Lenny Kaye called "the music of punks cruising for burgers".

Iggy might forget and wipe his ass with his dinner

i misread this

There was a story about Madonna going to see Prince about a collaboration or something, and when she arrived there was a huge meal that Prince's chef had put out. So Madge is stuffing her face and she notices that Prince is just sitting there, so she says "aren't you gonna eat anything?" and he's like [tiny Prince voice] "no". So I think the chef is there to feed all of the musicians in his band.

Someone that I just thought of: John Lennon. Because during those five years didn't he do all the cooking? I read somewhere that he really got into cooking, even baking his own bread.

Thought this thread title read "who would win in a coke-off" in which case the answer would be Sly Stone.

speaking about basketball (and pace that charlie murphy skit on chappelle), prince as a teenaged balla:

!!! prince, the balla:

awesome

Look at the guy on the far left back row, seems like Prince wasn't even shortest on the team!

I misread this title as "cock-off," which probably would have been more interesting. Cross swords gentlemen!

who would win in a cock-off: bowie, iggy, lou or Prince?

Excerpts from <a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/11098046.html";>this</a> article in the Philadelphia Enquirer:

In some ways, this marriage of bands and cooking is a natural convergence. "For me, there's a huge connection between music and food, down to how the music affects the very dining experience," says Joe Kim, owner of Bistro B, a personal-chef service, and drummer with the High Lives. "Creatively, they tap into the same vein."

"I was surprised to find that so many bands I talked to really liked to cook," says Zuaro. "Twenty minutes after I contacted him, John Darnell from the Mountain Goats wrote me a three-page essay of favorite foods he makes for his wife when he comes back from tour."

And despite the added aura of rock-stardom, not every musician makes an appealing chef, says local chef and musician Kim: "I wouldn't eat Lou Reed's recipes. But I'd eat David Bowie's."

Ha! Silly me. Here's the link.

Man, Lou looks like he still gets haircuts from his mom.

I can only hope that there's a biopic made about him, and William H. Macy plays him.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I have it on good authority that prince makes a mean stack of pancakes.

haha I read this as "who would win in a COKE-off...", which makes sense given the choices

Aside from some uncorroborated evidence that he was indulging around '96, Prince is pretty famous for not doing drugs. As far as cooking, I'll vote Bowie.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
