    For me it would be Amy Winehouse .IMO she had so much potential and I loved her singing.Miss her big time.
    I would probably kill Blake before I did it.;)

    Muammar Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein, probably Gaddafi, the world would not be such a messy place with him still in it.

    Steven Jobs...just to piss off all the android fanbois.

    John Lennon.

    Just to see if he & Paul McCartney could write one more really good song together.

    If, on his return, he informs us that the religious folk were actually right about heaven and hell you'll have to kill him again though. Which would be hard, I'm sure.

    Poor auld Kurt Cobain. He's the only star I've ever cried over and I reckon he'd still be making great music if he was still around.

    Hitler.
    Self Godwinn. Yay :)

    Seriously though I would love to see how he managed to get so powerful with so few obvious advantages

    Hitler's rise to power isn't that crazy. Right place, right time...for him obviously.

    But, it was simply a matter of a good speaker capitalising on a chaotic period in the history of Europe. It really could have happened anywhere at any time.

    I'd like to get him back too, just to hear what he'd have to say about how the world turned out...so long as I could pull the plug again. ;)

    Bonnie and Clyde, as my husband and I share the same birthdays and I'd like to find out the myths from the lies about them.

    J Dilla. An absolute genius. To think he made his magnum opus on his deathbed is incredible.

    Honourable mention would have to be Aaliyah. 22 years young...mental

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Together? Wouldn't Kahn just kill Cash?

    For similar reasons, I'd say Alan Turing.

    33 posts in and no one mentions Jacko, his legacy will always be tainted by his weirdness though.

    For me its Freddie Mercury, all 4 original Queen members together again for one last tour.

    I would really like to meet Jesus to know what the real story is! :)

    There is a very good documentary on Netflix about Tesla, a person way ahead of his time.

    Jacko was a spent force by the time he died.

    Another Queen tour would be most cool though.:cool:

    I went to their last one in '86 & like most attending, I had no idea that it would be their last.

    Newton,Planck or Einstein. They were years and decades ahead of their time when science had nothing. Imagine what they could come up with with access to a modern computer and instant access to every database ever.
