Who are your heroes?

Feels Good Man · 10-01-2018 1:52am #1

Who are some people you admire? And whose examples you try to lead your life by?

Vladimir Putin: a strong man who will fight to the death for his people and county. Humiliated Obama in Syria. A man you could follow into battle.

Liam Gallagher: unashamedly masculine and laddish. Great singer and a true rock star. Still winds up middle class English who hate the fact that a Irish Manc from the estates made it.

Charles Bukowski: a fine writer who devoted himself to drinking and womanizing. Had a 20 year old girlfriend when he was 50. Legend.

Well I like George Michael and even still have Wham's first album. Is that a bad thing?

Faith is an amazing album. And less homo-erotic than the opening post of this thread...

When guy reaches puberty he's got to start thinking about becoming his own man and forget about having heros

"Last Christmas" is a very poignant song for me from my youth.

Yes, especially the version that went "last Christmas I gave you my fart, but the very next day you blew it away"

I don't think that is necessarily the case. A hero can be someone you admire and look up to, no matter your age. No man is an island.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this quite a bit the last while..I'm not sure how many heroes I've had, or people that I like really, really respect..One of them died last year, Leonard Cohen..and maybe nick cave..and maybe Darren Arnofsky..but it's weird..it's more like a reverence for their art than anything else..maybe the dude out of the national..

No one to be honest. I don't follow celeb culture or the lives of famous people enough to be inspired by anyone.

I live my life according to the values I was raised with and my own experiences and opinions on various issues.

I'd agree with the poster above that hero worship as an adult seems a bit childish to me but each to their own.

Chips Lovell · 10-01-2018 7:53am

Andrea Dworkin. She’d kick Bukowski’s arse.

He doesn't really. More makes them spontaneously break out in 'street' accents , Manc walks, Adidas and Stone Island.

Deadpool or Wolverine generally, but I'm getting into a little bit of Avengers after the movies.

Also, I prefer to use the term 'inspiration' rather than hero, but a particular singer who overcame leukemia in his early twenties with more grace than I could ever muster for anything, whose music and general outlook on life are things I deeply love. His music has always been cathartic for me in dealing with my own crap.
