Second Chances
Sometimes when celebrities die we feel we have been cheated. So I will open the floor to nominations. What famous people, currently living or dead, would you bring back for another few decades of life.
BTW, none of this 'reincarnate as an ant' crap. I mean bringing them back in good health to continue their legacy. I will post some options up for a vote, but make your own suggestions. Who do you think has or had so much to give to us by their existence that they deserve/d an encore? |
My father. OK, I know he wasn't a public figure, so I supppose he doesn't exactly count. But he was an intelligent, compassionate man, with the best dry wit I have ever encountered. I think his marriage to my insane Mother in the 50's when divorce was still heavily frowned upon really held him back in his life. I'd like to see him return unburdened by her. I bet he'd be a force to be reckoned with! As for public figures, my vote goes to Albert Sweitzer.

Argh, forgot to vote for Lenon as well as Albert.
Nicolas Tesla Mark Twain Oscar Wilde |
Jimi Hendrix - to relight the fires of music
Abe Lincoln - to reunite the warring factions Immanuel Kant - to refute the absurdities of what passes for contemporary philosophy -sm |
rich, how could you omit Elvis? for shame.
John Bonham! Bruce Lee! The guy from Blind Melon Janice Plato and the number one guy i'd bring back , just so he could see how big an impact he had: DaVinci |
I'd hafta bring back scientists first because they could build on what work they'd done previously. And I'd hafta bring back physicists first, because their work explains the nature of the world and the universe, and is most likely to benefit from such a building on previous work. And I'd have to bring back Feynman first, just for sentimental purposes, because his autobiographies were so madly brilliant. I think he could not only build on his understanding of science, but also on his understanding of life.

if we bring back kurt cobain, can we give him zoloft and therapy so he won't off himself again? The downside is that if we treat his problems, his music might suck.

How many people remember Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and the scene with Beethoven in the mall organ store? |
Jesus Christ.;)

I voted for Einstien, but I have to agree with those who suggested Nicolas Tesla, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Plato.

Definitely Mozart. I could see him doing some awesome stuff today. I think that he would have a lot of fun, too.

I would also vote for bringing back Martin Luther King Jr., the man who prevented the war.
