If you could bring 5 people back from the dead...

If I could pick one person to bring back, it would wihout a doubt be Frank Zappa, my personal hero and favorite composer living or dead. The man died in his 50s after having released roughly six million records, each one getting progressively better until the end. I don't think anyone could possibly imagine the awesomeness of what he could have composed with another 20-30 years of time on earth, aided by modern musical technology. Plus it would be cool for everyone to worship him so I could finally have a religion to call my own and to say "I was a fan before he was resurrected". It would be really awesome to clone him and splice his genes with a shark.

Other people:

Alexander Dumas - My favorite author, I'd want him to continue writing books, and to kick the asses of the cocksuckers who made the disgraceful Gankutsuou.

Gustav Holst - So he could collect royalties from all the assholes who have and who continue to rip him off.

Maurice Ravel - See below.

Miles Davis - See above

People who I don't really want to bring back but would do so temporarily for lols:

Terry Schiavo - I was out of the country at the time all that Terry Schiavo shit happened, what did I miss guys?

Mohammed - I'd like to take some pictures and carry them around in my wallet so I could whip them out and say "Hey look this is me with the prophet Mohammed!"

Tupac - lol just kidding we all know he's still alive.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
