If you could ressurect anyone from the dead who would it be?

Jimi Hendrix'd be my choice.
Listening to Hendrix's "First Rays of the Rising Sun" recently, and even though it was assembled posthumously - damn it Hendrix was heading in an excellent direction.
Or
Terrence McKenna - batty bloke, always had a hint of going several gibbering yards too far with his theories to cloak the basic fundamentally brilliant ideas he had and keep the authorities thinking he was just a kook they could ignore. He left us too soon.
Any other thoughts people?

Jonathan Swift, and then I'd take him for a drink at Swift Bar.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

First Rays of the New Rising Sun is probably one of my favorite Hendrix albums. Have you heard Crash Landing??
But sorry, back on topic...
I'd probably have to go with Ken Kesey. and Alduous Huxley.

these people were ahead of their time when they were alive and i think it would be interesting to hear their opinions on how well we've caught up.

Buddha. He might be able to put his finger on just what's wrong with the world, and maybe even help fix it.

Buddha already knew what was wrong with the world, it's up to the world to put their finger on the problem(s) and fix it/them

There's a whole ton of greats that come to mind. I'm kind of torn between Bill Hicks, John Lennon, Or George Harrison.
