"Would you like a carob shake with that order?"<\/p><\/div>\n

The journalistic artist feature article conceit of beginning the piece with a description of the artist’s meal in whatever swank LA\/NYC\/London eaterie has long bugged me. Do I in any way care that Brian Wilson<\/strong> was eating a “turkey Reuben” and sipping a “diet Dr. Brown’s soda” while discussing his new album of Gershwin covers with some hack from Rolling Stone<\/em>? Do I learn anything other than the fact that a) Wilson’s a wimp for eating a turkey<\/em> Reuben and b) the diet soda’s not going to offset jamming any kind of Reuben down his throat? I think not.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0maybe I’m wrong. Maybe\u00a0these artists actually rock what they eat.<\/p>\n

Please describe the meal and drink<\/strong> that any or all of the following artists would be “munching on” at a hip LA\/NYC\/London eaterie not if<\/em> but when<\/em> you interview them for Rock Town Hall.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Donald Fagan<\/li>\n
  2. The Boss<\/li>\n
  3. Sting<\/li>\n
  4. Chrissie Hynde<\/li>\n
  5. Chris Squire<\/li>\n
  6. Polly Jean Harvey<\/li>\n
  7. Nick Lowe<\/li>\n
  8. Craig Finn of The Hold Steady<\/li>\n
  9. Eddie Vedder<\/li>\n
  10. Rod Stewart<\/li>\n
  11. Hamish Stuart<\/li>\n
  12. Bob Seger<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a bonus question, what would be caked in Walter Becker’s Beard<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

    I look forward to your responses.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
