Another conversation starter culled from Richard Herring's book Emergency Questions... and some songs I loosely linked to it.
18. Which celebrity would you like to stroke your hair as you die?
I think my go-to answer for this would usually be Kate Winslet. She has long been my celebrity crush, and the older she gets, the more I respect her attitudes to celebrity and being herself on screen.
Fat Harry White - My Baby Stroked My Beard
To be honest though, I'm not sure I'd want Kate - or any other celebrity, for that matter - running her fingers through my hair. Especially if I was on my death bed. I mean, it's a bit late now, isn't it, love?
Maybe it'd be better to choose a celebrity who can calm me down in my final moments, rather than getting my heart rate up or leaving me feeling frustrated over lost opportunities.
So I did a quick google search on "Who is the most caring celebrity?" and the answers the AI generated included...
Oprah Winfrey
Dolly Parton
Beyoncé
Keanu Reeves
And do you know what? Of those guys, I think I'd choose Keanu. I feel like he'd be the one most likely to make me feel zen about my last moments on earth.
The Felice Brothers - Black Is My True Love's Hair
Eleanor Friedberger - Cathy With The Curly Hair
Professor Longhair - She Ain't Got No Hair
The Tokens - She Lets Her Hair Down
Prince - She's Always In My Hair
Melba Montgomery & George Jones - You Comb Her Hair
The biggest problem I have with this question is that I don't really like anybody touching my hair. Not because I'm precious about how it looks (I couldn't give a monkeys)... it's just: PERSONAL SPACE, DUDE! Still, I'm sure Keanu would respect that...
Having seen photos of your luxuriant hair I think most of us would like to stroke it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant question.....and excellent set of answers.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit cruel of Herring mind you, as not all of us would have that sort of luxury afforded us on our deathbed. I'm calling him out for his appalling baldist attitude.
Maybe I'd don a wig for the occasion and ask for Kylie.
Love The Rakes, so cheers or that. Can I offer this in return?

Ah, yes, I think I might have first encountered that over at your place, JC.
DeleteMy obvious response to that is this...

That's rather excellent. Cheers, Rol.
DeleteCan I come back again with the very obvious!!??

I promise not to come back again if you would like to have the last word......it's your gaff, after all. :-)
I was going to attempt an answer for this question but, the way my barnet is departing, I will have no hair left to stroke. And I don't think I'd want a celeb massaging my balding bonce. Especially now that JC has got dibs on Kylie.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Kylie’s missing a trick. Surprised her manager hasn’t got her booked up 24/7 going into hospices and care homes stroking the hair of those about to check out; no job too small (discount available for the foliically challenged.)

JC, Martin, John (didn't Marvin Gaye write a song about you guys?)... You Should Be So Lucky.
