1. Fatty Arbuckle- What really happened? 2. Hoffa- Where are you? 3. MLK- Was it worth it? 4. RFK- Pyrrhic victory? 5. Wilt- Who was covering you on THAT day? 6. O'Hara- Were you right? 7. Nicole- Was it him? 8. Pac- Et tu, Brute?
Easy one... Jesus. I could seriously ask him thousands of questions and it would never get old (for me anyway).
I had a dream once a few years ago that involved myself having dinner with Brad Nowell (of Sublime fame). It was the coolest and most memorable dreams of my life (so far), so Brad Nowell would be my first choice...
In no particular order: Genghis Khan Alexander the Great Adolph Hitler Gandhi Jerry Garcia Jimi Hendrix Jim Morrison John Lennon Louis XIV Cleopatra Bradley Nowell (great call BGM) Janice Joplin btw, just because I would like to talk to these people doesn't mean I respect or agree with them all. I would just like to understand how some people (see Hitler) could have had such extreme hatred or show extreme patience and peacefulness (see Genghis Khan.. er.. I mean Gandhi).
I've always wanted to ask someone who was there what happened to the first settlers of Roanoke Island.
When he dies, John Edward. I would like to know whether or not his whole "speak for the dead" thing was real.
1. Jesus- would he be interested in a business idea I have, which is a winery without land or grapevines? 2. Hitler- what the hell was he thinking as he destroyed his own country? 3. Thomas Jefferson- did he realize that his words and ideals would basically end slavery, and if so, why didn't he free his slaves? 4. Ronald Reagan- how do you feel about your legacy, and would you please allow us to put your face on Mt. Rushmore? 5. Karl Marx- are you disturbed that your communism was bastardized and responsible for more deaths than any ideology that has ever existed? 6. Pol Pot- what was this maniac thinking? 7. Isaac Newton- wow, to have a conversation with this guy would be AMAZING. Is there a smarter human being who ever lived? 8. William Shakespeare- What did this man really write. I would love to show him the effect he has had on modern English language. 9. Chuck Yeager- one of my heroes damn, I could go on forever.
Pancho Villa FDR Errol Flynn Groucho Marx Henri IV Duc de Sully F. Scott Fitzgerald Alexander Dumas Douglas Fairbanks Chico Marx Harpo Marx John Lennon Joe Strummer George Harrison Baron Von Richtoffen(sp?) Cardinal Richelieu Anne of Austria Ghandi My parents.
A couple additions: Dr. Timothy Leary JFK - I'd have to know how Ms. Monroe was in the sack.. Edward R. Murrow J.R. Tolkien I'm sure I could think of more..
The members of the Constitutional Congress - Would they be pleased with what they started? Never really wanted to talk to great artists as most of them weren't the most lucid of conversationalists.
Great Thread! Famous Dead People I Would Like to Talk To: Jimi Hendrix Elvis Presley John Lennon Lowell George Muddy Waters Robert Johnson (did he really sell his soul to the devil???) John Lee Hooker Famous Dead People I've Talked to but would like to talk to again: Stevie Ray Vaughan
The number one dead person I'd like to talk with, is of course, my dad. I can think of a few others, though: Marilyn Monroe: Would you sleep with me? Please? Elvis Presley Charlie Parker Robert E. Lee Timothy Leary Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughn George Washington Thomas Jefferson Ben Franklin I too could go on for hours.
