Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Lou Reed, Elvis, the Beatles, Jimi, Stevie, Bono, Edge & the boys, Milli Vanilli (just to tell them that it's not all bad), Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed (no relation to Lou), Sean Connery ("yes, Miss Moneypenny..."), Thom Yorke, Lenny Kravitz, Moby, the gang called Dream Academy, Everclear...in fact, why don't we just throw a party and invite them all? Waddaya think?
Cool Book Quote (20 March): "The North of prudence consists in unfurling the sails to the wind of the Favorable Moment. In these affairs waiting never does any harm. Presence takes the edge off hunger, and distance sharpens it. Maintaining your distance, you will be considered a lion, while being present, you could become a mouse born of the mountain. You are certainly rich in fine qualities, but qualities lose their luster if touched too often, whereas fancy travels farther than sight." --Umberto Eco The Island of the Day Before
Dylan, Hendrix, Superman, Batman. Aren't they all about at the same level? I did also like Daredevil, but the real DC Comics Daredevil, not the gay Ben Affleck movie version. I also like Einstein, Stephen J. Hawking, Terry Fox, Christopher Reeve...real heroes like that. My own superpowers include bowling like an ijeet, not singing, and finding the slowest line at the supermarket.
