boxers or briefs? seriously, I've always wanted to ask him what songs he wishes he'd written.

Think I've heard him answer that one before, paraphrasing, 'There aren't any songs I wish I'd written, but there are songs I'm glad that somebody wrote.'

(You get another question Mood!!!)
A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. Do you think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fuckin' cross? It's kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

Could you please rethink this engagement thing? :?

When I met EC:

First time: "Can I shake your hand?"

Third Time : "Could I trouble you for a photograph?"

Ask Elvis a question? Sod that, I'd push him to one side so I could make a lunge for Steve.

I'm JOKING!

Er...not exactly a question, more a request; I'd ask him to write down any two lines from one of his songs in my note book.

DrJ - what happened the second time?

Second time: He was on a mobile so I just gave him a big goofy wave. And he waved back.

Nice one Pop.

I'd ask him to stop dressing up like a penguin and posing like a b-list celeb!!

Ok, I value my life too much to say that.

I'd probably ask him to reveal who he wrote 'You Bowed Down' about. The old sod just won't say.

I'd ask him for an autograph, because I'd be so happy I'm actually talking to him that I couldn't muster up entire sentences!

Since 'Can I be your dog?' is already taken.....it would have to be 'Will you marry me?'

Um, a little more seriously, I always thought it would be so, so neat to be pen pals....So it would be something like...'Would you consider being my pen pal??'
:lol:

(This may as well have been 'What's your fav Elvis fantasy?')

AAHHH, no, no.....forget all that.
I've got the question......'Can I have a kiss?'

(And if I could think of a tasteful way to ask....it'd probably be more :oops: )

Yeah, I think I declared my love for the man quite a bit at the show on Tuesday. :lol:

Like when he sang out: "HOLD ME!" and I shouted back "I will!!"

hmm. :shock:

if this situation arose, and i had a brain, and any chance at all for a conversation to come of it, i would ask him about painting. it's not just one question though (guess i'd have to cheat) - "do you still paint? who are your favorite artists".

one question just wouldn't do it. i'd rather ask nothing than just one. assuming i had a brain. i expect i wouldn't. :)

i can't seem to forget him saying "deleted" after he mentioned WIWC on letterman and i want to know what he meant by that. cause if he hates it now, it messes me up. i've been glad to see a little of it on the recent setlists.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.

I took it to mean it got deleted from the radio playlists. Maybe there's some British version of "delete" that means something else...

i took it to mean deleted as in the CD is not produced anymore!

i would ask him why all those years ago he traded in his brand new fender telecaster for a battered old jazzmaster? when the tele is clearly a better guitar!

Pip, spill it! What happened, you lucky young lady? :shock:

Ahem. I'd like to say I'd ask him for a kiss, but knowing me, i'd mumble something stupid and make an ass out of myself.

I don't know what I'd ask...
