You're getting lunch with three famous historical people (from the last two centuries). Who are you eating lunch with?

I'm chowing down with Nikola Tesla, Karl Marx, and Carl Friedrich Gauss. Although I think Marx would feel out of place, given the other two are scientists (and Gauss also a mathematician). I think Tesla would love Marx, though, given how Tesla seems to have loved the concept of free energy and just doing things without really expecting anything in return.

Who are the second and third? Eh, I wouldn't want lunch with Hendrix. Now I'd certainly drop acid with him lol

I've heard of the third but forgot what she did.

That's fucking Janis Joplin! One of the greatest blues vocalist ever. Or rock. Sometimes. And Garcia is one of the most underrated guitarists

What did they play in?

TwoThousandZeroZero

Janis was solo but in a shortlived band called Big Brother and the Holding Company. Jerry is in the fucking Grateful Dead!

Ah xD See, I like old rock bands, but I prefer EDM. Old EDM. Klaus Schulze is my favorite. Tangerine Dream, mofkin Kraftwerk. Redshift. Brian Eno. Paul Ellis. Steve Roach. The list goes on. xD

Janis Joplin was a singer who died of an accidental overdose of heroin in 1970. This book was written by a woman who claimed to have been her lover for the last three years of her life: http://www.amazon.com/Going-Down-Janis-Peggy-Caserta/dp/0440131944. No idea how much of it, if any, is true. These pictures are pretty much what she looked like: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1VFKB_enUS657US657&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=janis+joplin
