(scroll down for all of this weeks responses) Coree Las Vegas Nevada www.myspace.com/skindp COREE SAYS: Wow! Jonathan, just the thought of going back is exciting. I know for me it would be all about music. But, to pick just one? Can't be done! I would have to do one of those "Bill and Ted Adventures". Think about; Bo Diddley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Elvis Presley, The Clash, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and Joan Jett. Dead or alive these poeple had a major hand in helping make music what it is today. Oh!, just to spend an hour with each of these incredible musicians and singers.

Mishelle New Hampshire www.myspace.com/mishelle122572 MISCHELLE SAYS: No hesitation on this one, Janis Joplin!! Just to talk and party with her would be a dream come true.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO SPEND THAT PRECIOUS TIME? (*Ends Friday) Alex Falkirk Scotland www.myspace.com/alextgirl ALEX SAYS: Hi Jonathan. There are a few people I would love to go back in time and meet at a particular time in their life, but the one that springs to mind who I would find of most interest has to be April Ashley. Being a transgendered woman myself, April is one of my Trans- sexual icons who impressed me with her individuality and zest for life, regardless of how hard it was to make it in life as a TS back in her day. She started life being born as a boy in a tough working class area within Liverpool UK back in 1935. She always knew she was a girl, but still did the expected male thing to suit society and went off to sea at the age of 14. She broke free by moving to London UK and got into female imper- sonation cabaret, and the rest of her fantastic life is history as it were. If interested you can read about her at http://www.aprilashley.com/home.html and you will see how successful and well known she became, and indeed the well known stars she became involved with as well. She transitioned from male to female back when society had been even more bigoted towards people the likes of me today. I owe a lot to women like April, for they have helped me become the real me today through their own difficult challenges in life by re-shaping how the world views my kind. Therefore she gets my thanks, and my difficulty would be trying to pick only one 24 hour period in her life to answer this question properly. Luv, Alex. xxx Barbara Morganton North Carolina www.myspace.com/luvmyjett BARBARA SAYS: I would love to go back to the 60's.The one person I would want to spend that precious 24 hours with would be Jim Morrison. But, I would have loved to have met him before he got so strung out on alcohal and drugs. Then I'd fast forward through time to a few moments before he died. I'd liked to have been able to read his last thoughts, and then watch him as he takes his last breath. And, see the life drain from his eyes. Jim Morrison was and still the SEXIEST DEAD MAN that ever lived! I would have done about anything to spend that time with him. Shawn Rock Manhattan Kansas www.myspace.com/cherrybombd71 SHAWN SAYS: Jon, this question is always great...some people take the high road and claim, "Jesus"...or "Ghandi" ..."Mother Theresa"...c'mon!! Not me. I believe I'll take the back road...haha...kidding. I would jump in my souped up time machine (which would be a black '69 SS) and ride into December 8th, 2004...at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. I'd go into that day early, wait for a one Nathan Gale, sidestage...and put fifteen bullets into the man. The man that took 4 lives that night...including Dimebag would be stopped! Then I could smile at Dime and everyone else in the building ...and toast a blacktooth grin.  R.I.P.  Dime Dark Diva North Dakota www.myspace.com/depps_dark_diva DIVA SAYS: Easy cheesey answer here: Would love to have gone back in time to the Haight Ashbury days and hang with Janis and tell her, "girl, you're going to be a legend of women rockers...keep it clean, keep it real and keep around us for a long, long time."

(*Ends Friday)   Holly Nashville Tennessee www.myspace.com/ilsistema HOLLY SAYS: On a personal level, I'd love to go back and spend 24 hours hanging out with my brother Travis Hutchison. He was killed by a drunk driver May 24th 1992. He was my best friend growing up as kids. Interesting that this question was posed at this time of the year. ;-) My mom had little competitions between my brother and I when we were like 8 and 10 to guess which song was going to climb the chart to number 1 on Casey Kasum's countdown. It was a blast! Music has always been a big part of our family. If I could hang with one person from music world for 24 hours, it would be Elvis Presley - I LOVE him. Hard to find someone with all that talent, charisma and good looks wrapped in one package! My brother would've made me drag him along too! He always wanted to go do whatever his big sister was doing. ;-) Snakelady Los Angeles California www.myspace.com/snakeladyrose www.Ghoulie-Art.com SNAKELADY SAYS: Hey Jonathan. That's a tough one. First I thought of Marilyn Monroe but then I realized she was just a confused person and I probably wouldn't get much outta that other than fan fascination. Then I thought of Albert Einstein, and we could talk about different theories of dimensions, quataum physics and his theory on God and if there is one...which I've heard he did believe in one. A scientist believing in God is very unusual. I myself want to believe but I'm still on the fence. Alba San Jose Costa Rica www.myspace.com/changingforthebetter ALBA SAYS: I would love to be in the Renaissance and spend my 24 with Michelangelo having a super intensive workshop and trying to learn all that I can about painting and sculpture. Hugs Jonathan! Engel_Dust Norristown Pennsylvania www.myspace.com/naturerules ENGEL SAYS: Hey, if I have a chance to go back in time...let me see...lots of people in my mind, but now I'd like to meet Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) back in the 80s (around '81). I will probably ask him why he started DM and where does he have those lyrics from. And, then he'll show me how to play synthesizers, and maybe how he does his hairstyle and clothes. Go to shop in London. Maybe see some punk or new wave band. Then meet his bandmates-and Dave Gahan. And then, I'll have another 24 hours with Dave. Ha, guess what we will be doing? : ) Back in the days, he was hot! May 22       Naomi Campbell The face of modeling was born in Streatham, London, England on this day in 1970.

You can't go wrong with Zero 7 or Imogen Heap...or...then there's System of a Down. I also find the intro to Ozzy's "Flying High Again" to be particularly eargasmic. Barbara Morganton North Carolina www.myspace.com/luvmyjett BARBARA SAYS: YES, the kind of music that I might play during making love, depends on my mood on what kind of music that I listen to. May 17       Enya Eithne Ni Bhraonain , born in 1961 the fourth youngest of nine children, comes from the small village of Dore (Dobhar in Irish) in the Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair) region of County Donegal in the northwest of the Republic of Ireland. She now lives in Killiney, a coastal district on the southern outskirts of Dublin The family is very musical and her parents played in a family dance band before settling down. Her father owns a local pub - Leo's tavern in Meenalech (min na Leice) - and her mother Baba taught music in the local school. In 1968, elder brothers Ciaran & Pol, and uncles Padraigh & Noel O Dugain, formed the band "An Clan As Dobhar" to perform traditional Irish music  at festivals etc. Changing their name to Clannad, and recruiting sister Maire Brennan in 1973, the band have gone on to international success performing both their own and traditional material. They have recorded a number of albums. Enya joined Clannad in 1980 and, credited under her real name, provided keyboards and (mostly) backing vocals. She appears on their 1982 album "Fuaim". It is often said that she also appeared on their 1980 album "Crann Ull" although she is not listed in the credits. In 1982, Clannad split with their long time manager and producer Nicky Ryan. Often sings in a mix of Latin and Irish Gaelic. Adopted the spelling "Enya" in order to avoid having to continually explain how to pronounce her true first name, "Eithne." As of summer 2003, has never toured or perform- ed a live concert. Most TV appearances have been accomplished by her either lip-synching to her original recording, or singing along with it. There have been a few exceptions, most notably at the 74th Annual Academy Awards and at least once on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992). According to Enya, tours and live concerts of her music are virtually im- possible due to the logistics of trying to replicate her sound on stage.

Over thinking and planning that sort of thing can be a recipe for disaster. Missy Erie Pennsylvania www.myspace.com/missy0937 MISSY SAYS: I never really thought about it, but I really think it is something that is best when it happens naturally. It's not something you should prep for unless it's a special occasion (birthday etc.). Some of the best sex I ever had happened spontaniously. So it could be music in the background or the sound of birds out my window. The important thing is the sound coming from your lover. Joe Tempe Arizona www.myspace.com/yoslim1 JOE SAYS: It depends. It's not something I plan out ahead of time but I usually love music in the background. It has to be the right music and not cranked to high heaven.
