    Jimi Hendrix, so he could show people how its done.

    i'd just like for him to develop his talent all the way, he was flourishing when he died. songs like pali gap, night bird flying, angel, and other posthumous releases show that he was the best one getting better.

    I think Warhol and Fuller would appreciate the following. In a nonliterate or illiterate society such as ours, fame as it pertains to historical figures is meaningless, since no one reads anymore. They have cell phones or Ipods glued to their ears, which they turn off long enough to listen to the Three Minute Hate coming across the public alarm systems, the Ipods and the cell phones five times a day.

    Big Brother loves me. Big Brother loves me. Big Brother loves me. And of course, I love Big Brother, even as he watches me type.

    (The Five Minute Hate has been shortened to three minutes due to measured attention span studies.)

    Tell that to Geli Raubal, Renate Mueller or Eva Braun, all of whom were reportedly lovers of Hitler, and all of whom were either murdered by Hitler or his accomplices, or committed suicide.

    William Shakepeare.

    Only so I may spend the afternoon with him myself and get to know him.
    I would much rather go back to his times though.
    If only for an afternoon.

    Jesus.....

    I think it would have been so cool to sit and listen to him talk , and see the commotion that happened everytime he came to some village...kinda like a rock star prophet , with his groupies.

    James Douglas Morrison... as much as I hate listening to poetry from random people. Jim's poetry was so universally euphoric. Great song writer and poet.

    I would show him how "The world we suggest is a new wild west. A sensuous evil world. Strange and haunting, the path of the sun…"

    It would be George Washington for me. I honestly think he was the greatest man to have lived! His entire life was a work of art in the sense it was an artifice under his control.

    Although Washington descended from important families, his situation wasn’t quite the easeful life that suggests. He was only 11 when his father died, and (in order to stabilize social class) virtually the entire estate was left to his brother, the first son. This compelled Washington to either face the future as a ward of his brother, an unthinkable alternative for George, or take destiny into his own hands as a boy.



    He even eventually freed his slaves without being coerced to do so. Washington could easily have been the first king in America but he discouraged any thinking on that score, and despite many critics, he was so universally admired the seat of government was named after him while he was still alive.

    Richard The Lionheart. he sounds like a pretty stand up guy. not that i'm all for killing muslims to take control of the "holy land", but he was a good king. i mean, he actually fought with his subjects, how unheard of is that?

    Arthur C Clarke

    He's only just dead, but he'd be more freaked out than you and I would be I bet. He could come back and do a special one off episode of Arthur C Clarke's Myterious World on his coming back.
