If his own Braggadocio is true, I'd have to go with Sting.
Hate his music, though.
Sounds like the deal that Stanley Moon made with George Spiggott in Bedazzeled (the Moore and Cooke version, not the remake).
Somehow IMO anyone is gonna have problems. You could end up antisocial like Newton, a suicidal drunk like Hemmingway, a bald sex symbol like Sean Connery, being shot in the back like Wild Bill, or something equally as fatal. It seems to me that everyone is cursed, no matter how perfect, with some fatal flaw. And who knows perhaps that ?'perfect' person would have a worse fatal flaw than the one I'm carrying.
One thing for sure, it is my opinion that intelligence is much overrated. So if I had my druthers I'd like to be blessed with less intelligence. Perhaps I'll go with someone like George W Bush without the responsibility.
George Clakins sounds good! Sitting there sampling the products of my brewery and distillery while doing a little trading on the banks of the Cheat River and waiting for West Virginia to become a state in 1863.
Or if it was just for a week, I'd like to spend next week as Lance Armstrong.

I'll have what he's having.

You wouldn't be taking on their life or actual works, just their talent to use at your own discretion for ill or good, in your own life.
Would you do as well with that talent as the original owner? Do you think that talent would make you happier than any talent you already have?
Horowitz's piano talent. Yes, I think that would add an extra gold star to an already happy life.
