If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

Once again, super vague. What are the rules? Is this an alive or dead, any humans in history kind of dinner engagement or is it just living people?

Regardless, it’s going to start with my wife and step kids. They are a given.

Who else? The Beatles, of course. But which era Beatles? 1964 Beatlemania Beatles? Pre-fame Hamburg, Germany Beatles? 1966 post-weed, pre-LSD Beatles? Probably that one. Maybe. I don’t know.

World leaders from history? Abe Lincoln and John F Kennedy, obviously. Partly because I could go over all of those weird coincidences between their two presidencies and see if they get a laugh out of it. Teddy Roosevelt would be a good one. He was a fascinating guy. Biden and Obama, of course. Not for political reasons but just to witness the bromance in person.

I would invite the three members of Rush, of course. I would let them sit at their own table though, separate from the rest of the group. I wouldn’t want Neil to be uncomfortable, you know? I would invite the classic 70’s line up of Genesis, but I would be afraid the three private school guys would be savagely fighting all the time the way I have heard they often did, so maybe not?

I would consider inviting Trump and Musk and Besos (sp?) and Zuckerberg (sp?), only to kick them in the balls and then throw them out on their asses. That would be immensely satisfying.

This is a pretty dumb question, but it is slightly amusing to think about. I guess.
