You may invite 5 people to Thanksgiving
Who are they?
Alive or dead.
Preferably real people, not, like, Bert and Ernie (beside, Ernie would come to my house if given his druthers).
Let’s make this easy and say we are already allowed to bring our friends and family and loved ones.
I just want to know which famous people, or people in history, you would most like to share your holiday meal with you.
It’s interesting to wonder who out of the people we admire would make good dinner guests. I’ll forgo Woody Allen and Lester Bangs and Jean-Michel Basquiat because, frankly, I think they would make lousy guests. Andy Warhol? Nah.
My list:
1. Buddha
2. Richard Pryor
3. Yoko Ono
4. Brian Eno
5. John Cage
This will all change by next week. (Well, not, I suspect, Buddha and Richard).
Who’s on your list?
Gina Vivinetto's Greatest Hits 
1. The apostle John
2. Bob Dylan circa 1965 during his pissed off party rock stage.
3. Winona Ryder, circa Reality Bites
4. Diablo Cody
5. Kevin Smith
Ole Abe Lincoln, for some wisdom, Bob Dylan to play guitar, Joan Baez to sing, Charro to dance and liven things up, Michio Kaku to have deep conversations with, and Jack Kerouac to write about the evening.
That was a close one!
1) John Waters
2) Kenneth Anger
3) Paul Lynde
4) Siouxsie Sioux
5) Tallulah Bankhead
Oh my god, Ben. With the tiniest bit of booze, your party would IMPLODE.
Alice Paul
Joni Mitchell
Barack Obama (yes, That ONE!)
Angela Davis
Harriet Tubman
allright I just have to do this again, Gary Snyder for some back country zen wisdom, Pete Seeger for a song, my Muse Marla Misenheimer because shes a hoot, Don Rickles for some levity, and Karen Walker for more booze.
