Celebrities you would love to interview who are dead

    There are some obvious ones like Kennedy, Lennon, Monroe, Hendrix...who would you love to ask questions and interview if you had the chance? I was thinking earlier Gerry Ryan would give a pretty damned good interview right now. I would like to think he would regret his drug use and talk about how pained he is to leave his kids without a father. But I guess its all fantasy.

    So, what dead celebrity would you choose and why? What would you ask them?

    Brian Cowen....:eek: wait sorry he's alive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    Jesus. I'd ask him how he did all those tricks. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 746 ✭✭✭ladypip


    Im afraid id have to be obvious and say John Lennon id love to hear his reasons for being such a bad father to Julian and such a great father to Sean and also how he feels about dieing leaving Yoko heartbroken.

    Also i wouldn't mind interviewing Jeff Buckley just to find out if it was suicide.

    Gotta be Hitler, don't take this the wrong way as I abhor everything he stood for and every wrong deed he had commited by others under his orders. That said it amazes me how he got a whole country to follow his orders leading to one of the darkest periods in World history.......Fascinating..

    I can't get my husband to put the blasted toilet seat down so he might have some tips for me.......

    Seriously tho, would be an interesting interview..

    Do you know that if you take the seat in your hand, you can lift it down yourself? :pac:

    Would be interesting to talk to Marilyn Monroe and find out a few juicy details on JFK, RFK and all the FK-ing they got up to :D

    Yea has to be Hitler, if you want to learn more about his powers of influence read "Sleight of mouth". It explains common patterns of influence the most influential people have used.

    Dammit, you got there before me!

    Spike Milligan, Billie Holiday, Douglas Adams, and C.S. Lewis would also be on my list. Although I'd say an interview with Spike would majorly depend on his mood, I can't imagine he'd be too chuffed to be brought back from the dead to the state of the world now for a wee chatette.....:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    - Alexander Mcqueen
