LOL! That really wasn't the intent of my comment. I just meant that of all those who "are no longer with us", Jim Morrison would be the ONE who would be most likely to show up TODAY <LOL>

He was STRANGE

At the moment I would like to sit with these people once at a table


Dalai Lama
Glenn Frey
Peter Gabriel
Don Henley
Tony Banks

[Troubadour]

Don Henley, and seven celebrities who know how to make themselves scarce.

Failing that...

Don Henley - do I need to begin?
Peter Cook - because he was incredibly clever, surreal, witty and wonderful.
Morrissey - endlessly fascinating.
Jo Brand - well, I couldn't have all these men to myself! She's hilarious.
Keith Floyd - to keep the wine flowing, the food delicious, and the stories coming.
Tony Benn - for his socialist political insight and life experience, and stimulating conversation.
Michael Palin - for his humour, likeability and Python/travel stories.
Leonard Cohen - a true poet.
