Which historical figure would you like to be alive during these times?

Samuel Adams, Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett, Wyatt Earp, Jose Wales wait he was fictional, or was he?

I would have to say, john lennon or bob marley. Musicians many times have the biggest voices over anyone, even politicians. They can make some of the biggest differences by simply bringing people together with their music. I wish we still had musicians today who spread such positive messages and who tried to promote change in our society. Unfortunately there doesnt really seem to be any around today who do.

Bono would take offense to that.

Phish, legalizing substances

Well just imeigen if jimi hendrix never died when he did.If he was still alive today just imagien all that new music he would have written and sang in the last 40 years.Proberly making albums with the likes of eric clapton,steve ray vanghan,robert plant,buddy guy,albert collins,elvin bishop,lesley west,tina turner,etta james and koko taylor.Even the music from john lennon in the last 30 years would have been fantastic if he was alive still.

"Laurel and Hardy, that's John and Yoko. And we stand a better chance under that guise because all the serious people like Martin Luther King and Kennedy and Gandhi got shot." -- John Lennon

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. -John Lennon

"Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident." -- John Lennon

Lennon, Nixon, Chapman and the CIA

If he was here today......
