Almost 2 years ago, I came up with a game called Namin' Names (http://mog.com/Anna/blog_post/14262).
Almost 2 years later, I do believe it's time for another round.
Rules are simple. Pick a musician (alive) for each question, and let the name-dropping begin!
As always, I have one small request. Please post your answers here, so that we can have them all gathered up in one place. Thank you :)

meet the parents - Josh Ritter or Jimi Goodwin (from Doves)
invite to bed - ...I'm having a difficult time with this one

excited about the Modest Mouse show I just saw 4 weeks ago and a friend

take my place in fight - Oderus from Gwar...HA!
compose life music - maynard james keenan (now shhh those who don't know, he's amazing, passionate and intense)
lapdance - Sune Rose Wagner (guys doing lapdances never did anything for me...Depends on the mood I suppose) Good thing I'm late to the post with that answer!
My Trusted MOGs
Time is irrelevant, my dear!
Gwar?! runs away
Sorry, why do you say that it's a good thing that you're late to the post with that answer?
