    If you could bring back any 60's Icon and spend some time with them , who would it be from amongst all the great writers and poets, musicians and political people of that era ?
    If I could , I would love to bring back Janis Joplin and spend some time getting to know her , she had such a wonderful smile , and I just have the feeling she was a big hearted , vulnerable soul beneath all that Southern comfort.

    it would be nice to have pat and richard nixon over for some coffee.maybe watch a baseball game or something.they seemed like such a nice couple.maybe they would prefer i come over to their place because they enjoyed entertaining guests.

    More of a 50s icon, but I'd love to spend a day with Allen Ginsberg.

    Yeah Morrison was the shit. Are you reading No One Here Gets Out Alive? That's a good read.

    I'm not sure I could handle Morrison.

    Can't I just go to the 60s instead of trying to bring someone here? I don't want to inconvenience anyone.

    Not necessarily an icon, but I would just like to meet a woman who lived the "scene" during that era, just to get a true historical feel for the time period. However, I have to agree meeting Jim would be absolutely awesome; my husband has a print of his "No one here gets out alive" poster that was printed somewhere in Europe back in the day.
