Who's Your Favorite Dead Person?

[-Fallen Into Bliss]

Huzaahh;*

Hard Choice..

Kurt Cobain: Who just was amazing Nirvanna wise, but even better in the frame of backmasking!

For instance, Smells Like Teen Spirit backwards literally says I HAAATEEEEE YOUUU I HAATEEE YOU

I hope Courtney Love hears that one xD

Sid Vicious:

I've always fancied him. For some strange reason I think he was innocent,

and his mother was guilty for murdering him. Nancy didn't need to live really, but Sid..

He was the man.

and of Course:

Brandon Lee: No one could've played the Crow better

& died on the job? I can't even describe it.

not to mention Heath Ledger could never partake in such a legend

not even as the Joker...

Brandon Lee was the first male sex symbol

with facepaint.

Rest In Peace, Boys

I'm going to get a little bit nerdy on this one.

I usually go through phases with different figures. Right now I am almost finished reading an 800 page biography on...

Peter the Great ~ Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias

Lived...1672-1725

Reigned...1682-1725

An emperor who demanded that he do a lot of things for himself. Preferred modest quarters and turned Russia into a world power (whether they liked it or not).

Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel

Should we be concerned that you chose a Nazi General as your favorite dead person?

[candyman]

The thread is about who and not why so I didn't put anything. Long story short I am studying military movements as part of my initial orders and no matter what people want to say this guy was a genius in the area and is still considered one of the best. I have other favorite dead people too...a few are even "part" of the Nazi party...but that is all for another thread.

He has 'the' good reason to admire Rommel, you must admit...that dude WAS a genius...

Ah that makes sense... you admire him as a general... not what he was a general for

[candyman]

Even he didn't admire what he was a general for...but he fought with honor for other reasons.

Another dead person would have to be...Dave Thomas!
