Hi,
An interesting question was posed earlier today from a podcast that I listen, 'Dan Carlin's Hardcore History'. If you could have five people from history to dinner, who would you invite? From history, we mean figures from times past which are no longer alive. There are plenty of modern day folks that will go down in history, but let's broaden the scope.
First would be a classical composer, for example W.A.Mozart. I would like to give him an iPod, show him how to use it and just see the reaction. See the reaction when I placed my 1977 Les Paul in his hands and witness what he could do with it. I think he would be astounded and shocked, too bad we'll never know...
Next would be Charles Lindbergh. I am an avvid aviation fan has always held Colonel Lindbergh's accomplishments in very high regard. I would like to show him the Airbus A380 and the Space Shuttle, and listen to his stories...
Wacky as my next guest may seem, I would like to meet Napoleon Bonaparte. I just want to see how this person is in real life. I know little about him, but he was brave, determined and lucky...
I would like to take George Washington around Philly today and show him where his country has gone. I can imagine his disbelief, disappointment and amazement...
I'll leave the last one for you, the reader. Whom would you invite?
King Leonidas (just watched 300)
Abraham Lincoln
Jesus
Ben Franklin
Pope JohnPaul II
