If you had a chance to say something to your idol, what would you say?

I would ask Queen Elizabeth the first what guided her decision not to marry. I would ask Gandhi how his faith played a role in his staying strong while dealing with the government. I would ask Doctor King how he stayed strong through the beatings and prison sentences.

I wouls say "thank you for leading by example and paving the way for others to explore their own paths without fear, hesitation and with the knowledge and wisdom that you uncovered/made better known."

Fancy a quickie?

I would ask Dolly Parton how much her breasts cost and if I could have them when she's done with them lol!!

i'd tell him how much i miss his inspirations since the day he walked out.
in everything that surrounds me and all the new people i meet, i am still searching for someone like him.
there is no way anyone can replace him but surely i now know that no one is like him, not even close!

Alistair, I swear to God, I don't know how you do it. Novels, a memoir, those fabulous cartoons of yours, pithy reviews, brilliant poetry, and of course the volunteer work - simply amazing. p.s. You are so friggin' handsome! p.p.s. Have you lost weight? You look smashing!

I met my idol. After a concert he shook my hand, signed my ticket stub, and gave me his beautiful, warm, sincere smile as if he was waiting for me to say something. I clammed up, muttered, "thanks," and left. I suck!!

If I have another chance to meet doug martsch, I will say something like, "It's such a pleasure to meet you, Doug. I really can't express how your music has affected me. I have so much respect and admiration for you. You know, you inspired me to finally start playing guitar. Would you mind if my husband took a photo of you and me? Thanks! And could you write my favorite song lyric on this body part so I can go straight to the tattoo parlor and have it tattooed on me? Thanks."

Thank you Jesus for loving us all and dying for our sins. Thank you for forgiving us tie and time again.

I would probably faint before any words could leave my mouth.

i just met mine after 20 years of waiting... (nkotb)....and all could say was "i love you to each of them. =) It was great.
