Lunchtime Poll: Sophie’s Rock Choice

11/28/06, 11:22 am EST

Keith Richards

You’re in a sinking luxury yacht with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and all of the Rolling Stones. Of the seven of you, there are only three life preservers. Who do you save? (Obviously you leave Keith cuz he’ll survive anyway.)

Kevin | 12/11/2006, 3:50 am EST

I would save myself,Paul and Ringo.No contest.

LoveU2 | 12/6/2006, 6:14 pm EST

Me Paul And Ringo… no contest… that’s for sure

Loneshewolf | 12/6/2006, 5:12 pm EST

Mick, Ronnie and Charlie. As you said, Keith would survive anyway

JIm | 12/6/2006, 12:04 pm EST

i think would let paul, ringo and charlie watts go on the raft, then myself and ron wood would hang on the keith’s back as he leads us to safety.

Jake | 12/5/2006, 9:03 pm EST

Keith, Mick and myself.

how queer | 12/5/2006, 7:04 pm EST

mick, keith and ringo. paul’s a loser

dave | 12/2/2006, 8:25 am EST

keith looks like a sith lord..whatever entertainment that brings you

hangon2yourego14 | 11/30/2006, 1:34 pm EST

just to correct whoever posted as the smiley face: Paul was not the lead singer of the Beatles…John and Paul switched off singing lead, normally depending on who wrote most of the song. George and Ringo also had songs where they sang lead…

:) | 11/29/2006, 2:42 pm EST

paul and mick duh! we gotta save the lead singers!

Bilo | 11/29/2006, 11:32 am EST

Not McCartney that’s for sure! Live and Let Die!

Rose | 11/29/2006, 11:06 am EST

Myself, the captain and the first mate

nitro4life | 11/29/2006, 10:02 am EST

ringo,keith,and mick

Danielle | 11/29/2006, 9:56 am EST

They’re Stones. They’ll sink anyway.

Save the Beatles.

Jon Woolsey | 11/29/2006, 8:25 am EST

If there’s a Beatle involved, then there’s no contest. Obviously, it’s Paul and Ringo. Let the frigging Stones sink once and for all. Mick’s tired Tina Turner routine is soooo over. Just go away already. Oh, and resurrect John and George and save them too.

bowmanbody | 11/29/2006, 7:42 am EST

Paul, Ringo, Keith

Owen H. | 11/29/2006, 5:49 am EST

…Ringo is fucked.

Gerard Choucroun | 11/29/2006, 1:16 am EST

two for paul, one for ringo

Rachel Rogers | 11/28/2006, 11:51 pm EST

They’ve all had their time to shine and are starting to collect dust on our old records and the CDs we have. I would simply save myself and say a farewell salute for the fallen heroes. Except for Keith. He’ll outlive the cockroaches.

Craigu | 11/28/2006, 10:11 pm EST

The only TRUE founding members to be saved are Mick and Charlie. Keith will live no matter, Paul is already DEAD! so that leaves one vest for me. (Remember, Ringo and the other living Stones were all introduced after the Stones and Beatles formed…) Mick T. and Wyman aren’t on this boat, they retired.

Rich N. | 11/28/2006, 9:20 pm EST

Me, Paul and Ringo;Keith will lead the others to safety.

jackprack | 11/28/2006, 8:32 pm EST

You guys simply have too much time to waste. What an inane, ridiculous excuse for entertainment. Of course, the Stones would have to be saved at all costs:they again proved their worth to me on Saturday in Vancouver. I think that we should use Bill O’Reilly as the liferaft, then feed him to the sharks when we hit land.

Neocons burn in hell.

some guy | 11/28/2006, 8:22 pm EST

I would personally make sure that Paul drowned, and then make my decisions.

Paul | 11/28/2006, 8:05 pm EST

I tell Keith to stay on the yacht and tell him that we’ll rendezvous later (and we will, he’s Keith). I slap a preserver on myself, Jagger, and Taylor. Before I leave I tell McCartney the best Beatles songs were all written by Lennon and he sucks (that’s not true, but what the hell, it’s a nasty thing to tell someone right before they die)

Killa | 11/28/2006, 7:15 pm EST

How bout Mick, Ringo and Keef?

Arya | 11/28/2006, 6:47 pm EST

ringo, charlie, and me.

Jab | 11/28/2006, 6:42 pm EST

Since Keith is immortal, I’d save the rest of the Stones and try to cling tightly to Keith, in hopes of surviving.

auramac | 11/28/2006, 6:37 pm EST

Who would I save?… I’d leave the job to Keith, put him in charge- he’s the survival expert, not me!

Sophie | 11/28/2006, 6:27 pm EST

I can save keith, charlie, mick, and myself, considering mick is skinny enough to fit into life preserver with one of the other two. Paul and Ringo were too cheesey for me.

Leslie | 11/28/2006, 6:13 pm EST

paul & ringo & mick (if keith is gonna live forever anyways).

matt | 11/28/2006, 5:46 pm EST

Me, Paul, and Mick

missmuffit | 11/28/2006, 5:45 pm EST

I’d take three of the stones….Paul McCartney could be shark bait for all I care!

James | 11/28/2006, 5:16 pm EST

Me, Paul, Ringo. No contest.

cf | 11/28/2006, 5:11 pm EST

The Beatles all the way, no contest

Kliffee | 11/28/2006, 5:01 pm EST

Myself! Fuck them old, rich bastards. They’ve lived it up long enough!

Finnegans Wake | 11/28/2006, 4:57 pm EST

Who needs life preservers? Everone can hang onto Ronnie Wood, since wood floats…

CMicDiesel | 11/28/2006, 4:37 pm EST

Okay I would save Paul, Keith, and myself. The only reason is even in a bad situation I’m sure Keith would find some way to get high and make the rescue more pleasurable.

craigers | 11/28/2006, 4:31 pm EST

charlie watts and keef. they are one of a kind. sorry mick. and as for ringo and paul, fuck off.

Andrea | 11/28/2006, 4:00 pm EST

I really do not like the Beatles. As long as there are women in Bikinis on the shore, I am sure that Mick could still swim there. He has alot of stamina. I would save Ron Wood and Charlie Watts. That way, nither rain nor snow nor sleet not deep oceans could destroy the Stones and keep them from touring again.

Jimmy Jazz | 11/28/2006, 3:53 pm EST

I’d save Ringo, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood. Keef will survive anyway, because as I’ve said before, you can’t kill him without a silver bullet.
Mick, I think really I’d be doing him a favor, because do we really want to see him creaking about on stage, singing about sex anymore? Do we need ANY sixty year-old men singing about sex (with the exception of the entire blues genre)?
As for Paul, his output since 1970 should be considered a crime against humanity. You had it coming Paul. You just had to release Silly Love Songs didn’t you?

angels a douch | 11/28/2006, 3:52 pm EST

lol GO GO FALL OUT GIRL

Dude | 11/28/2006, 3:36 pm EST

Another instance of the Beatles topping the Stones.

Donald | 11/28/2006, 3:24 pm EST

The two knights of the British armor, (Paul and Mick) and me, would be safe.

Little Oscar | 11/28/2006, 3:23 pm EST

If you take me out of the equation, I’m going with Ringo, Paul, and Ronnie Wood. Ringo/Charlie Watts — close call, but I’d take Ringo; Paul/Mick — I think Paul’s a little more versatile; Keith or Ronnie — Ronnie can play like Keith, look like Keith, and sing a little better. I think we have the start of a good band!

mary g | 11/28/2006, 3:05 pm EST

paul, ringo and me

Angel | 11/28/2006, 2:44 pm EST

Leave them all to die. They’re rich morons who have left us all the good songs they’ll ever write in their lives. In fact, you could’ve let them all drown thirty years ago. Fuck ‘em all.

Show Me The Money | 11/28/2006, 2:41 pm EST

I like Ringo, Charlie and Ron Wood more than Mick & Paul. But lets face it… they probably don’t have as much money, and I expect to be compensated for my heroism.

Paul, Mick & Myself.

Banjo | 11/28/2006, 2:41 pm EST

Yeah, myself Paul and Ringo. Ringo may be the least talented, but he’s still a Beatle. Also, just to aggravate, the stones catalogue has given us significantly less in the form of classic hits than the Beatles. FYI, John and Paul wrote the Stones first #1 hit

Imaginaryboy | 11/28/2006, 1:27 pm EST

Paul, Ringo and myself.

charliemapleton | 11/28/2006, 1:26 pm EST

George,in the title on the front page,they did say Paul McCartney,Keith Richards,and left the rest to our imagination,so anything goes.In the meanwhile,i’ll be making virgin strawberry daiquiris behind the bar while everybody on board(including celebrities)does the Laffy Taffy and Electric Slide(I know,I must be trippin’,but it’s a fun forum).

JonWithnal | 11/28/2006, 1:22 pm EST

Let them all quietly sink.

GeorgesBoy | 11/28/2006, 1:12 pm EST

Oh yea, and Alicia Keys? I don’t recall her being a part of the equation.

RushFan | 11/28/2006, 1:06 pm EST

Paul, Ringo and Charlie (the coolest Stone).

GeorgesBoy | 11/28/2006, 1:05 pm EST

Me, Paul, Ringo

The Stones have lasted this long. I’m sure they’ll make it to shore…

Oh, yea and all these people who are saying to save already dead people need to pay attention to what the question asks. You can’t save John. He died in 1980.

charliemapleton | 11/28/2006, 1:04 pm EST

Me and Alicia singing “Diary” together on the dock of the bay wouldn’t hurt either.

charliemapleton | 11/28/2006, 1:01 pm EST

Alicia Keys if she’s performing,Paul McCartney(and not for the reason he’s my favorite Beatle)since he’s probably(in this case)a captain or passenger and use his bass as an anchor,and if we stop at Puerto Rico(after the disaster)at a club on the sand,bust Ivy Queen(behind the club).

jason | 11/28/2006, 12:39 pm EST

none. We’d all just pile into Ringo’s yellow submarine, of course.
I love that most people seem to forget to save their own lives, by the way.

Alah | 11/28/2006, 12:39 pm EST

Watch my balls……..please!

anonymous | 11/28/2006, 12:32 pm EST

Me, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Mikey Z. | 11/28/2006, 12:14 pm EST

It’s a no-brainer. If Keef’s already accounted for,it HAS to be Charlie and Woody !!! Let McCartney sing a silly love song as his lungs fill with water…bye, bye prick.

DGG | 11/28/2006, 12:10 pm EST

When you say “all of The Rolling Stones” does that include Mick Taylor? How about hired gun Darryl Jones? I can’t make life or death decisions with such incomplete information.

b-rett | 11/28/2006, 12:05 pm EST

Mick, Paul and Keith- the real artistic forces.
But if all the Beatles were alive, it’d have to be John, Paul and Mick.
And Ringo is overrated. Cool, but overrated.

jungleland | 11/28/2006, 11:59 am EST

Paul, Ringo & Mick

Keith would wash ashore 5 months later having no idea that he missed a single day.

I would then drink about 50 toasts to Woodie and Charlie

ok, now I’m depressed :(

B-Man | 11/28/2006, 11:57 am EST

Mick’s lips will keep him afloat.

JudasConstant | 11/28/2006, 11:44 am EST

The goofy drummers.
