    Fela Kuti, multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre and human rights activist.

    just one quick story about him

    In 1978, he married 27 women, many of whom were his dancers, composers, and singers, this was to protect Fela and his wives from false claims from authorities that Fela was kidnapping the women

    Steve Miller.

    Got to see him in the 3 a couple of years ago, 76 and just one slick dude.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

    He talked a big game but more importantly delivered a big game more often than not.

    Banksy.

    Nobody knows who he is but most people know who he is, doesn't get much cooler than that.

    "I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his shít going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherfvcker just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherfvcking place, everybody dug it."

    Ricky Gervais - the coolest guy around right now imo.

    Feminists don't like him, prolly just cuz feminist jokes, but I don't know anyone apart from those sort who don't think Gervais is a damm nice cool guy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭completedit


    James Dean was the coolest person ever purely because of his face. He's like so good looking that it doesn't matter he was a short sighted weirdo who liked getting burnt with cigarettes while getting banged

    Funny how he can be so funny if he's such a wretch...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    Humphrey bogart the actor, sia the singer , joni Mitchell , Kate Bush . Not many singers can write their own songs that will be remembered in 20 years time.
    The eagles in the 70s and 80s.
    Neil Young. He's a great singer and he wrote many great songs.
    I think it's better to make 2 or 3 great albums and then stop.
    Too many groups like the rolling stones continue to make albums long after they had anything new to say.
    I think it's hard to be creative when you over a certain age and are also extremely rich.
    It's hard to stay in touch with real life
    when you travel on private jets and have 3 mansions in different country's

    Sorry but no, Steve Irwin was not cool, he was an awesome dude and probably great craic, but one cool cat he was not, if I had to describe his personality at that level of intensity... if cocaine stayed up all night doing speed it would almost be as intense as steve Irwin.
