Surely you remember the famous cover with 71 cutouts of famous/iconic people on it.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_images_on_the_cover_of_Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band

So I decided to make a list of people who would make my personal Sgt. Pepper's cover. The idea is they have to be influential to me in some way, and recognizable. Here it is:

1. Friedrich Nietzsche
2. Vladimir Nabokov
3. W.C. Fields
4. Muhammad Ali
5. Miles Davis
6. Louis Armstrong
7. Billie Holiday
8. Johann Sebastian Bach
9. Edgar Allan Poe
10. Lewis Carrol
11. Mark Twain
12. David Lynch
13. Norm MacDonald
14. Ludwig van Beethoven
15. Andy Kaufman
16. Abraham Lincoln
17. John Lennon
18. Paul McCartney
19. George Harrison
20. Ringo Starr
21. Tom Waits
22. Federico Fellini
23. Stanley Kubrick
24. Nicolas Cage
25. Tom Servo
26. Crow T. Robot
27. Hunter S. Thompson
28. Ennio Morricone
29. Boris Karloff (as the Monster)
30. Bertrand Russel
31. Jean-Paul Sartre
32. Salvador Dali
33. Luis Bunuel
34. Ella Fitzgerald
35. Janis Joplin
36. Max Screck (as Nosferatu)
37. Conrad Veidt (as Cesare)
38. Mae West
39. Bjork
40. Louise Brooks
41. John Waters
42. Frank Zappa
43. Groucho Marx
44. Chico Marx
45. Harpo Marx
46. Franz Kafka
47. Bruce Lee
48. William Shakespeare
49. Pauline Kael
50. Johnny Cash
51. Ed Wood
52. Volodymyr Zelenskyy
53. Fran Liebowitz
54. Pyotyr Tchaicovsky
55. Pam Grier
56. Jean Cocteau
57. Salvador Dali
58. Alfred Hitchcock
59. Alejandro Jodorowsky
60. Seijun Suzuki
61. Thelonious Monk
62. Winston Churchill
63. Mr. Rodgers
64. JR "Bob" Dobbs
65. Charlie Parker
66. Walt Disney
67. Matt Groening
68. Fyodor Dostoevsky
69. Moondog
70. Orson Welles
71. David Bowie

I think only 4 of mine were on the original cover. Some were not famous (not even alive?) when the original was produced in 1966. Obviously 71 names is a lot, but maybe you can come up with a bunch of names you would have to put on your cover.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
