This isn’t the thread for “musicians I’d like to have sex with”. Believe it or not, it is possible to interact with women in the same ways as you’d interact with other human beings. I wonder if he’s innocently referring to the scifi movie Hot Tub Time Machine, since time travel would be called for with his picks. But I haven’t seen the movie, so I might be way off-base. . ---

But I haven’t seen the movie, so I might be way off-base. . I was sort-of thinking of the movie, but I too have never actually seen it. Only Dolores O’Riordan would require a time machine (an earlier draft included Kirsty McColl, also deceased). Sorry if it came off as sexist. I totally wouldn’t want to try and talk with Shane McGowan, Ronnie Wood, Lemmy, Tommy Lee and Keith Moon, in or out of a hot tub. ---

> [@BubbaDog](#): > > Eric Clapton > Kenny Wayne Shepherd > Susan Tedeschi > Derek Trucks > Billy Gibbons I think I met Susan Tedeschi once, at Fatt Matt’s in Atlanta. It was after her set and she was vaguely annoyed that I didn’t know who she was (but was otherwise quite pleasant). This was before she toured with Lilith Faire and met Derek Trucks. ---

First, allow me to apologize to **Chronos** for the errant “fuck off” and subsequent sarcasm. In my defense, **Chronos** and I have a long history of interaction here, which has always been cordial, chummy, and mutually respectful. I presumed I would be given latitude for a friendly “fuck off” (It’s a thing. It may be a New York thing, but it is definitely a thing). Nothing in our past would lead to a reading of an angry and deliberately offensive “FUCK OFF!!” The britches comment was an impulsive reaction to the unfriendly and (mildly) sinister reprimand. I’m famous for my fiery, quick temper, as we all know. In any case, warning acknowledged; apology offered; and I promise to limit harsher profanity to the Pit. ---

That must be a New York thing, because I’ve never heard of “fuck off” being cordial. ---

Well, I grew up in Cleveland myself. Maybe I hung out with rougher crowds — mostly sailors, lumberjacks, whores, and professors of literary theory. In any case, I shan’t do it any more. Can we be friends again? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/5-musicians-youd-love-to-talk-with/839308.md?page=2)
