People you wish you could have met before they died

A lot of people who had lived incredible, legendary, inspiring lives are dead.

Among those, who do you wish you could have had the pleasure of meeting?

It can be anyone. Even a relative who passed before your birth.

Spoiler for Just a few for me:

How did I know going into this thread it would all be 60s-70s rockstars?

Too far gone to think of anyone atm.

psh, dude, I threw a Jim Henson up in there because I love him and stuff.

but I also sort of wish I could have met my great-grandma (she died when I was a year old) because she was cool as hell.

Ki and I watched the film about him and I must've cried for half an hour after it was over. He seemed like such a wonderful, interesting, driven person.

Spoiler for Just a few for me: Jim Morrison - though he was an ultra-douche, I'd really love to have heard what he had to say about life, or just his personal ramblings about anything in this great world. I just wouldn't want to fall in love with him. Karen Carpenter - Though I realize that no amount of love could have saved her, I would have wanted to tell her that I love her so much. Jim Henson - he had an incomparable kindness in his eyes that makes me weep to this day. Marc Bolan - Though he didn't much appreciate the care and concern of those who tried to keep him on track, I would have loved to spend just ten minutes with him, just to admire his mannerisms and to hear him speak of anything. __________________ You and I, We were born to die.
