Lunchtime Poll: Abracadabra, Who Should Live Forever-Ish?

12/13/06, 11:54 am EST

Bob Hope

Your uncle (who’s a carny) gives you a wand that you can wave over anyone and they will live to be 101. After a few hits of paint thinner (he’s a construction-working, house-painting carny) he remembers to warn you that the wand only works on rock stars. Which rock star would you choose give the wand treatment, and why should they get to live longer than Bob Hope?

Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool.

I’d go with Eddie Van Halen…except he’d need 3 more hip replacements, 4 pancreas transplants, and a few bypasses by that point.

Tara | 12/16/2006, 6:07 pm EST

J.D. Fortune, Angus Young, James Hetfield, Dexter Holland, Tommy Lee, Billie Joe Armstrong, Dave Mustaine, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Rogers, John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, & Wierd Al!!!!!!

Aloric | 12/16/2006, 2:33 am EST

Bob Dylan.

We’ll need him for a few more decades.

charliemapleton | 12/14/2006, 1:55 pm EST

Stevie Wonder-passionate,provocative, peaceful,and political-he’s not afraid to rise above and beyond.

Aretha Franklin-she’s an r&b powerhouse-bottom line,so she deserves to stay.

:p | 12/14/2006, 1:29 pm EST

I wish I could keep Shirley Manson of Garbage the way she was in the 1990s.
I love her voice and her redheaded, supervixen self.

George Bush. Hail! Hail!

Bono, because he could keep up his humanitarian efforts and keep trying to make this world a better place for everyone.

SM | 12/13/2006, 11:48 pm EST

Bono, only because he could keep doing humanitarian efforts and make this world a little better place.

bravo cheesecrop!!

cheesecrop | 12/13/2006, 8:49 pm EST

Weird Al!!!

Graham | 12/13/2006, 8:31 pm EST

Definitely Tencious D and the Gallagher bros for entertainment value; Andrea Corr is she would look as gorgeous as she does right now; and Hendrix, Buckley, and Tupac if I could bring back people from the dead who passed before their prime.

Sam | 12/13/2006, 7:40 pm EST

Billy Gibbons. Just to see how long that beard could get

DT | 12/13/2006, 7:37 pm EST

Kieth Richards will probably live that long anyway, next choice would be Jack White cause he will still likely totally rule

guitargirl | 12/13/2006, 7:01 pm EST

-Tom Petty
-Jimmy Page
-Gallaghers
-Neil Young

Sophie | 12/13/2006, 6:46 pm EST

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant….why?….so maybe they can one day GET BACK TOGETHER!!!! Please!!!! and because they rock.

Gofrito | 12/13/2006, 6:37 pm EST

You’re wasting your time with Bob Dylan, that dude will outlive us all anyway.
I’m gonna go with Mick Jagger, so that he and Keith Richards can continue to have hilarious spats well into the next century

rick james | 12/13/2006, 5:58 pm EST

Omar a Rodriguez-Lopez

mrs. pickles | 12/13/2006, 5:48 pm EST

The Gallagher Brothers and Thurston Moore

Andrea | 12/13/2006, 5:34 pm EST

I think that if Axl Rose lives forever, he will have enough time to finish and release Chinese Democracy.

Jeff | 12/13/2006, 5:29 pm EST

Tom Waits. He keeps getting weirder, yet more brilliant with age.

tracy | 12/13/2006, 5:25 pm EST

Bruce Springsteen
because he makes me glad to be alive, so I want him to live for a long time.

another, different matt | 12/13/2006, 4:49 pm EST

By the way, I don’t know what’s up with the Elizabeth Goodman hating. You’re awesome, Elizabeth.

MD | 12/13/2006, 4:30 pm EST

Noel Gallagher - because of quotes like “There are only 5 good bands in the UK right now….us..and 4 oasis cover bands” - brilliant

Anonymous | 12/13/2006, 4:19 pm EST

-joan baez because this world needs her
-bob dylan because maybe that’ll give me time to marry him
-beck because i’m just curious to see what he’d be doing
-pete doherty because it would be ironic
-morrissey because…well, he’s just brilliant.

another, different matt | 12/13/2006, 4:12 pm EST

Roger Daltry, for singing “I hope I die before I get old.” bwahaha.

Stole My Face | 12/13/2006, 3:45 pm EST

Jerry…. Jerry…. Jerry…. Gonna have to give it to the still living dead… Phil

Pete | 12/13/2006, 1:58 pm EST

Jacko. Just to see how crazy he would look @ 101!

Drunk and Obese | 12/13/2006, 1:44 pm EST

Lindsey Lohan. I want to see how far her giant boobs will sag.

rustyshackleford | 12/13/2006, 1:42 pm EST

Bob Dylan, so he could continue to impart his infinite wisdom and incredible songwriting upon us.

Joe Strummer | 12/13/2006, 1:30 pm EST

I would say Bono, but that would interfere with his goal of being cannonized.

loveslash | 12/13/2006, 1:30 pm EST

the Bobs (Marley and Dylan)

definitely jimi hendrix and of course john lennon..maybe if he had more time he would’ve left yoko

A.J. | 12/13/2006, 1:22 pm EST

bob dylan

eddie vedder

anonymous | 12/13/2006, 12:48 pm EST

bowie, he’s almost consistently good, and doesn’t seem to age, which would be good for a 101 year old

Toby | 12/13/2006, 12:41 pm EST

well we all know Keith Richards will live forever, so let’s give Mick a fighting chance!

SATAN | 12/13/2006, 12:35 pm EST

THERE ARE 4
BONO
EDGE
ADAM
LARRY

WHY? BECAUSE THEY ROCK.

Sanchez | 12/13/2006, 12:10 pm EST

Gene Simmons..Be fun to see him add 20+ More albums with “Detroit Rock City”, “Firehouse”, “Rock n Roll all Night”, “Shout it out Loud” and “Beth” on them for another 40 something years.

Can you say KISS Alive 23?

Banjo | 12/13/2006, 12:10 pm EST

Paul McCartney - i don’t want the Beatles to ever die! (sorry Ringo)

a dead star who i wish could live to 101? Jimi Hendrix
