If you could get a beer with any rock star in history, who would it be?

That would be my first choice, but I'd be talking to a grave. Hence I went with Lynne
Do you think you could decipher anything he says?
Might be stretching the concept of rock star, but I'd go with Paul McCartney. First runner up Freddie Mercury.
Paul McCartney for a ton of reasons but mainly because he is by all accounts a nice guy. A ton of Rock Stars are aloof, not nice, and/or distant. Sharing a beer might be awful. But not likely with Paul.
John Entwhistle would be cool. I think Jim Croce would be a fun guy to hang out with. Or any member of The Band.
My choice as well. Been a fan since I was a kid. Got to see him in Ames in 1990.
Imagine all the stories you could hear from Lynne. Petty, all of the Beatles except John, Del Shannon, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison.
It would require more than one beer.

Idk if he's number one, but Alice Cooper is funny as hell. Would be an entertaining time
Hell yes. I think I'd like to change my vote to Cash. The older, more introspective version.
I'd have got a case and spent the afternoon with the Traveling Wilburys. Can't get much better than Harrison, Dylan, Lynne, Orbison, and Petty. If just one give me Dylan.
I’d have a Bud Light with Kid Rock and discuss trans issues with him.
Edit: in all seriousness, I’d like to sit down with Dave Grohl and talk about his time with Nirvana and find out what he thinks really happened with Kurt Cobain’s death.

Hope you are not a lightweight if trying to drink with Richard Manuel from the Band. I've read stories of him downing between 6 to 8 bottles of Cognac DAILY in the years before his death. Even heard his house in Malibu had over 2000 empty bottles of Grand Marnier after his death. Great band. Too bad they were fairly short lived.

My initial thought is Jim Morrison. Or someone like Robert Johnson or Miles Davis. Bob Dylan would be up there as well.
However, maybe because it’s because of the times and social media. But Dave Grohl seems like such a great guy.
I’m not even a big Foo Fighters guy, but he seems like a great guy to get a beer with.

Grohl’s drum challenge with Nandi Bushell was one of the cool stories that emerged during the pandemic.
