1. Ray would have some weed with him as well.
R.I.P. Mr. Charles.

2. Ray, no doubt
though having a beer with anyone dead would set me back a bit. How would I be breaking that plane... Hmmm.

3. Now I'm sad. Ray Charles gone. I remember when Hit The Road Jack
first came out. I was hooked. Georgia on My Mind and Born to Lose just capped of the addiction. I'm Busted was just icing on the cake. And no one has ever done a better rendition of America the Beautiful then Ray Charles.

Now here is a man worthy of lying in state in the rotunda.

5. I'd pour Ray a Wild Turkey.
And have a Scotch & soda with him.
I ain't a theist, but RIP, Ray.
Good man.

6. None of the above.
I'd like to have a nice cold one with Donald The Poet Rumsfeld. Then, I would throw it in his face and walk away. ( a little resentful are we?)

9. Some years back, PBS did a documentary on Ray Charles.
Among those interviewed were assorted ex-members of Brother Ray's female back-up singers, the Raelettes. One of them told the interviewer, "We always used to say, before you could be a Raelette, you had to let Ray." :evilgrin:

10. *
I've related my story here at least once - I met W in 1989. Way before he made any aspirations to run for Gov of TX. Sat with him for an entire Texas Rangers game. Nicer guy you could not meet.

He was past his drinking at the time - although I wasn't. Sitting in the prime seats at old Arlington Stadium, I got nice & liqoured up(actually beer'd up).

Thought he was very down to earth & a genuinely nice guy.

Now....well, we've seen what he's turned into...

12. Tough choice...
With Ray and Ron you could steal their beers and they wouldn't know the difference. And of course * doesn't drink (wink-wink) so you could drink twice as much.
