Living famous people you'd love to meet

    There's a ****load of musicians I'd like to have a pint and a chat with, including:

    Steve Reich - incredibly influential composer, would have tonnes to talk about!
    Robert Plant - Zeppelin are one of my favourite bands, and even though I'm a guitarist I reckon Plant would be the coolest surviving member to hang out with. I reckon I could listen to him tell stories forever
    Jonny Greenwood and/or Thom Yorke - Radiohead are another favourite, and I'd love to talk to these two. Probably Jonny moreso, as I reckon it'd be easier to keep the conversation on the topic of music, rather than veering off into green issues and stuff =P

    Outside of music, I'd love to meet Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, Quentin Tarantino, and countless other to be honest, so maybe I'll leave it there for now..

    How bout y'all, who and why?

    Someone once said, you should never meet your heroes.
    Other than that, there are many famous people i'd love to meet to smack them around the head.
