La Fin de La Semaine Essay Question: Special "How Do You Say 'Tutti Frutti' in Yiddish?" Edition

So as attentive readers may have gleaned, I'm feeling the effects of a stressful couple of days involving our pussycat and major dental surgery (his, not mine).

He's almost fully recovered, thank you very much, but seriously -- I'm still totally exhausted from dealing with it.

That being the case, I must apologize for not being able to put my usual deep thought into coming up with a theme for this weekend's EQ.

Or for slacking through this introduction and getting immediately to the business at hand. To wit:

...and the post-Elvis pop/rock/soul-r&b/folk/country star performer you would most like to meet (or to have met but never did) is...?

Discuss.

I gotta say, due to the nature of my toiling at The Magazine Formerly Known as Stereo Review, I was insanely lucky enough over the years to have encountered or interviewed a galaxy of such folks, most of whom were absolutely delightful (notable exception: Major schmuck Chevy Chase. I'm pretty sure I've told that story here at some point, but if I haven't, remind me and I'll do it next week).

In any event, my own choice would be this guy.

Let's just say that the world has been a distinctly less entertaining place since he departed this sad vale of tears in 2020.

Alrighty, then -- who would YOUR choices be?

And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
