TINA TURNER! Love the hair, flair, outfits and her attitude. She OWNS that stage. She’s quite the Rockette :)

Bob Dylan, the best poet we’ve had in — I don’t know how long.—astounding lyrical poetry—his writing aurally is like viewing an ethereal Garbo as Anna Karenina in the great silent film: Love; it’s visually hallenging in his use of rhyme and Hopkins-like sprung rhythm; his love for Sara springs through in Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands—he uses words like the coices of the gods—he more than any other poet/writer/songster was the singular voice of his generation and of the ones following and he left his mark and still leaves it on any that are to come. He is in that tradition of jongleurs and troubadours from the middle ages on—he created a legend early on and then had the wit to live in it and of it. I’d sell my jaded soul to write like Dylan.
Bob Dylan was my first choice too Frank, but he’s not really a rock star. My next choice would be Mick Jagger. Currently I am in love with Jack White (White Stripes fame), John Mayer, and Blues artist Jonny Lang.

C A : When he went electric at Newport and all the folkies booed him, I was rocked by that, the electric not the booing—the man is amazing in his writing and whether he’s rock or not—-the man rocks my world :-)
It all depends on who her lovers were.*
Passion, talent and beauty.
I would be Carly Simon.
* (Cat, James, Mick, Warren… )

And don’t forget that great song she wrote for Mick—“You’re so vain” lol
The author of “Girls Like Us” seems to think she wrote it for Warren Beatty. Carly always refuses to say who she wrote it about (although she auctioned off the answer for charity, but the winner had to promise not to tell). I agree it’s a great song.
I hope the winner paid a lot of money.. otherwise.. someone could ask her directly *smile* :

She has a specific page on her official site about the mystery:

Lest I forget, CS was Jackie O’s pal and confidant.
Ultimate men. Ultimate gal pal. Ultimate songbook.
(Circa 1970 onward.. A little time machine action to present day… ) *smile*

If I were a rock star I would like to be either Cher, wearing more clothes than just a ribbon (remember that outfit?), or Streisand when she sang duet with Neil Diamond, “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers Anymore”. OR for loud, hot, foot stomping music to dance, John Fogerty - CCR.
