Living or Dead.. Who would it be, and what would you ask?

I wonder how I'd communicate with the dead....
I'd ask Christopher Hitchens (born April 13, 1949, died December 15, 2011), "Is there an afterlife?" |

Do they have to be real people? I'd ask Batman if the suit chafes. To be serious, I once met Jeff Beck at a guitar expo, certainly a hero of mine. i asked him what his favorite guitar is. He didn't hear what I said and answered, "Not usually". |

Damn, that sucks.... Judging by my username, I saw Mort Sahl live 4 times, and talked to him after the show the last 3 times (although we exchanged and signed our books, as well as a CD he said he must have listened to the last time I spoke with him)... I wanted to ask him if he'd meet up with me to talk movies, etc. (without mentioning how I traveled 3,000 miles each time). But, the owner of the theater and the producer was there, so even though we spoke last for 30 minutes, it wasn't a 1 on 1.. I did ask him if he'd release some of his shows. He did mention he had some reel-to-reel, but he's 92.. I asked for a photograph, and I did ask him for sleeping tips (since I know he's also an insomniac).

I can say without a doubt that my musical hero is the late Helmut Koellen. Though an incredibly sensitive and painful issue, I would have to ask him, was your death accidental or suicide?

I'd ask Einstein if he has played a game of dice with God.

I'd probably say something like when Chris Farley played the talk show host on SNL. Me: "Do you remember when you played that impossibly fast and funky bass line while simultaneously singing on The Big Money?" Geddy Lee: "Yeah. Uh- huh." Me: "That was awesome."

When I was growing up, Pete Rose was definitely one of my heroes. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rose if you’re not familiar with him.) So, if I were to meet him, I would dramatically ask, “why? Why, Mr. Rose?” Or maybe, sniffling a bit, “how could you?”
So now I don’t really have heroes! |
