Who Would You Meet?

If you could meet any person, living or dead, who would you choose to meet and why?

 

i'd meet kevin hart dead.

 

I'll have to think a while about this.

 

everybody i've only met on line. one at a time though. and why is just out of curiosity, to have a little better idea what each of you are like.
this is like half the reason i go to conventions for.
artists who's stuff i like and watchers who like the stuff i make mostly.
not just visual artists and genre authors, but also engineering and architecture and other technology people too.

any of my dad's relatives, i've never met any of them,
the guy who took all the pictures of foxes out in the woods,
anyone who inspires the kind of ideas i like,
whether they've reaches a large audience or not.

i wouldn't say there's any one person more then any other though.
strangeness is what makes life good.

and mostly that's not as much about people,
but i do have some curiosity about people too.

 

I still don't know just "who" but I think it would be a composer/musician.

 

Would love to meet Dylan For a Day ! I know he Wouldn't Talk ! Cleverer people Than me have tried
I don't know though perhaps he might if we are having a good time and I would tell him all about My life because I bet he is sick of hearing his own life story
I bet we would get on OK TBH

 

I've thought of all my idols and it's strange to myself even that the only one I would like to meet is the now dead Texan country singer songwriter Townes Van Zandt.His highly idiosyncratic,poetic style truly captivated me.The documentary "Be here to Love me" reveals a heart breaking yet poignant story.
I would just settle for fleeting moment with him.He was so funny,talented and yet comes off very down to Earth.

I don't think I'd gel too well with the vast majority of my other heros/heroines.

 

I would just go to the graveyard and randomly select a headstone.

 

I would like to meet David Byrne. He is my hero.

 

Jesus and H.R. From bad brains

 

I like how people always answer stuff like "Jesus"...

Good luck speaking to the guy unless you're one of like 10 people who know Aramaic.

 

Depends on why I am meeting them.
And if there will be a language barrier.

 

Kurt Cobain because Nirvana Lol

 

I would want to meet my Great Grandmother. I've been slowly finding out more and more about her, and family but she was an immigrant from Slovenia and a lot of information has been lost. I've tried finding family that was still over there but it's almost impossible due to the wars and Nazis sweeping through. Some of our family were shipped off to Canada. My Great Grandma and her sister came over around 1920. It's been so hard to find information, and I have so many questions I'd like to ask her.

 

Marc Bolan, or John Lennon!

 

Clive Barker would be an awesome person to meet, as would China Mieville, Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman, one of those would probably be my "alive" option.

Dead? there's lots of martial arts people that've passed that would be amazing to be able to study under. Kano Jigoro and Mitsuyo Maeda are the first ones that come to mind, but wouldn't get to learn a lot from one meeting.

I'd give a great deal to meet Peter Cushing.

 

Bashar al Assad
Pope John Paul II
Lars Mittank, to ask him wtf happened
Remarque
Vlad Putin, the greatest leader of our time

Maria Callas and Edith Piaf and Catherine Deneuve....because, you know, women's quota

 

Curious Piaf, why Assad and not Kim Jong Un or (since dead people count as well) Saddam Hoessein?

When compared to Mugabe perhaps.

well i'm not too sure how many know who most of them were either.

wavoka
sara winnimucca
leonard peltier
my father's mother's mother, who's real name no one i've known seems to have known.

several people who share my mundane name:
the architect one,
the oceanographic researcher,
the guy who made the process to turn used french fry grease into diesel fuel

even a few of my father's ancestors i've never met.

my mother's too of course.

all of the relatives i've never met.

alan kanigsberg (probably spelled it wrong)

 

Nikola Tesla too, although I very much doubt he'd like to hang out.
What a fascinating person.

Oh and Marco Polo.
