If you could meet anyone famous, past or present, who would that person be and why?

Tough question this. I’m going to cheat and select two people.

The first is John Lennon. I would ask him stuff about whether his dyslexia affected his songwriting, about his beliefs, whether or not he belives that Yoko split The Beatles or if that was just a coincidence and a whole heap of other stuff. I chose him because he was one of the best songwriters EVER and wrote stuff which evokes a lot of different emotions from me.

The other one is Douglas Adams. This is because he was an absolute comic genius who created sci-fi/comedy before Red Dwarf, Men In Black et al. I’d ask him if he ever thought that H2G2 would be as big as it is, if he is proud of having others reference his work and cite him as an influence and find out exactly how annoyed he was that the H2G2 film was never made in his lifetime. Also it would be good to talk to someone else who hates deadlines as much as me.

Will
