Hard to choose just one.

Jimi Hendrix and Keith Moon to tell them off for chucking their lives away.  Edmund Hilary to find out how being the first really felt.  The guy who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima - how does a person feel after doing that?

Re the Hiroshima Bomb.

Don`t know if you have seen the famous photo of a girl running after a bomb in Vietnam had been dropped.  She is running towards the camera crying, and all her clothes have burned off?

I saw a doc on TV where this girl (now grown up women), met the pilot who had droppped the bomb.  Very moving, very interesting.  

Wow this thread is getting deep!!!!!!!!

It was actually very moving for both parties.

She was very calm and forgave him.  She understand he was just doing his job, and obeying orders.  From what you saw, he was just as scarred by the whole thing as she was.

Both had to be strong people to go through with that, not sure I could have but then again not sure I could have droped the bomb!

Douglas Bader, Guy Gibson, Ian Banks, Douglas Adams, Roger Waters (allready had the pleasure of chatting to with David Gilmoure, Nick Mason and Rick Wright), and my old wood work teacher Fread Jones (Flew Mosquitoes with 617 squadren in WW2) in no particular order.

Chaz.

I'd like to ask my father-in law what he meant when he said "Do you know what you are letting yourself in for?" when I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage.  I have a sneaking suspicion he was referring to his wife not his daughter. :D  :D  :down:
