I'd like to meet:
Hitler - To just see if he really was mad or just demonically clever...
Steve McQueen - Cool as f___ - and we'd just talk cars and motorracing.
Michael Moorcock
Jack White - My long-lost brother
Actually quite a few of the people I like (as in like their work, their art etc.) I wouldn't particularly like in person - Morrisey is perhaps the best example of this. I once had the opportunity to meet and chat with Kevin Rowland after a Dexys gig at Wolverhampton and ducked it. I wasn't sure whether he would be a shit and I'd dislike him or a throughly decent chap (the latter I suspect) and I wasn't sure if I could take either option...
