When the Chicago Daily Herald recently asked random celebs’ “Which person, living or dead, would you most like to spend the day with?” the no. 1 answer was “Jesus,” though, frankly, the Good Lord has spent time in better company than the crop of B-listers who answered the Herald’s phone call.
Those who wanted to hang with the Christian Messiah included Rick Tramanto, a lesser light in that ever-softening category of “celebrity chef”; actress Linda Evans; Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes; and rocker George Thorogood (of the Destroyers). Not exactly Moses and Elijah. (The next most popular answer, from Bill Cosby, Weird Al, actor Fred Savage and guitar hero Ted Nugent, was “my wife.” Now that’s a bunch I could chill with!)
