- Brandon Boyd. Fucking God, I think I might be able to kill someone if it meant getting to be his wife. That man is incredible, in every way and every form.
- Anthony Kiedis. After reading Scar Tissue (not to mention my many years of hard research via extensive listening to and analyzing his lyrics vs. his life), I have come to realize that either Anthony is the second-most amazing man ever, or he's a really good fake.
- Nikki Sixx. I know, I know, I'm totally robbing the cradle here (it gets worse later, believe me). But this guy has been through so much, and is still giving back and being kickass at the same time. (The previous sentence can be applied to nearly all the men on this list.)
- Art Alexakis. He's not looking as hot these days; he's starting to show his age. But I'd still love to go out for hot chocolate and pick his brain on everything imaginable.
- Joe Perry. I KNOW, I KNOW, they're fucking old as dirt, but this man is truuuuly amazing for his age. I don't even want to know his exact age - I'd guesstimate it at late 50s, early 60s - but CHRIST, have you seen this man play guitar? That's a God, right there.
- Augusten Burroughs. I know, he's gay. But I can dream, right? This guy has the best, sickest sense of humor of any author I've ever read. He has consistently made me happy every time I encounter anything about or by him. AND he loves animals. Why must all the good ones be taken or gay?
- John Frusciante. Not your typical celebrity crush, for one reason; John isn't a "celebrity," he's a musician - a songwriter - a poet - and a damn good guitar player. He puts more spirit into his works of art than any other musicians I've ever heard. I can feel it, right down in my soul: he does this because he loves it. I also find him to be a very interesting personality and his interviews (while they must be turned up to max to hear his soft-spoken words) never fail to make me smile.
- Rob Thomas. Okay, this one's pretty typical. I think any girl who grew up on stuff like Matchbox Twenty had a thing for Rob at one point or another. He's like the perfect guy: sweet, romantic, a poet, but a total badass that would be exciting to be with. I read a Blender article one time where he started talking explicitly about sex. That was steamy.
- Dave Grohl. While he certainly has horse-like characteristics to his face, I find him to be adorable. He's too funny to comprehend. If you wish to see him at his best, go get the Greatest Hits and Videos DVD by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and watch their tour with Foo Fighters. Dave + Taylor Hawkins (also bangable/dateable) = lots and lots of laughter and recitation of the best bits.
Also, I have weird fucked-up crushes on: (especially young) Hunter S. Thompson; Bill Hicks; Henry Rollins; and Mitch Hedberg.
If you know who any of the people I mentioned in this list are, well.. -pats you on the back and gives you a chocolate truffle.-
