So we did the breathing folks so we will do our Ghostly Spectoral Co-Horts... :twisted: I'll start;
1. Louis Armstrong ( Satchmo)
2. Jim Morrison
3. Bruce Lee
4. Malcolm X
5. JFK
That was actaully kinda hard, theres so many more dead people than live people, I think, well no there is :?
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

1/Nick Drake (Music)
2/Lenny Bruce (Standup Comedy)
3/Graham Chapman (Sketch Comedy)
4/Douglas adams (Fiction)
5/John Kennedy Toole (Fiction)
I'd say that just everyone on this list was the best there was at what they did and died way too young. RIP. Incidentally, for those of you who haven't seen John Cleese's eulogy for Graham Chapman, I strongly recomend you download it. It's a classic.
