Well, I assume that trite answers like "Saddam Hussein so I could slip 10 tabs of bad acid and some rat poison in his dinner" or "David Geffen so I could auction it on-line to the millions of graspers all vying for his time" are against the spirit of the question.
And as much as I would love to meet say, Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine or Bob Mould or to have met Kurt Cobain etc, how much can you really accomplish in one dinner? You may love their work but hate them and have a really bad time. What big secrets would they tell you that you couldn't get from an interview. Would Kurt Cobain lean across the table and say "you know man, I've only known you for an hour but I've come to love you like a brother and I have to tell you, I think I'm going to blow my head off with a shotgun next week. What should I do?"?
And I don't think celebrities really have a great time at the "WKNY FM win a date with XXXYYYZZZ!" competitions so I would choose someone that I know would be a laugh. So, I would choose an outrageously expensive dinner with my wife Lisa.

Prefontaine was primarily a long distance runner, and at one point held the American record in every running event from the 2000 meters to the 10,000 meters.[1] Prefontaine had one leg longer than the other (a common condition that does not affect running speed), and due to this he was told to give up on his dream of being the fastest runner on earth. He is considered one of the greatest American runners of all time, having inspired a running boom during the 1970s. He is known for his extremely aggressive "front-running" racing style and always believing in giving a full effort. Prefontaine died at the age of 24 in a car accident.

It wouldn’t matter if it were a lunch or a week, I’d be happy with either one (although I’d have to ask Rush to put out his cigar).
