Krztoff, R.H. Bear, and Dave (the guys from BILE) |

i should have added "and why" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
John Lennon, Shigeru Miyamoto, Syd Barrett, Ian Curtis, Wayne Gretzky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, a serious answer? Hmmm... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, john lennon is a good one too ophecks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
W-H-Y-? especially syd barrett |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hold on, aren't they all dead ophecks? |
||||||||
|

Lennon because, well, he's Lennon... you all know my feelings about the Beatles. Gretzky cuz he's a little guy who isn't fast, isn't big, isn't strong, but loved hockey more than anything and dominated it with brains, and is pure class... and played hard even when he was on a team with a bunch of losers. Too bad he retired on a shit team, as their only determined player... fuckers. Syd Barrett because he's just so fucking out there... he meant well but got taken advantage of, fuckers exploiting his talent. He reminds me of me, I'm probably going to end up like him, some eccentric weirdo... Shigeru because I've been a avid gamer since I could walk, and he's the Beatles of video games, I can't believe he's still in touch with everything, hasn't fallen behind or aged, idea-wise... just keeps churning out the brilliance. Ian Curtis because he's one sad, angry fucker, but without the Trent Reznor over abundance of cheese. And the guy killed himself, he really was what he said he was in his songs. |

Wayne Gretzky's DEAD?!! :O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i said the guys from BILE because they've been an important part of my life for quite some time now, just brought me much joy and entertainment through their music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i said squarepusher because he just goes off and does the most mental music ever. he's the best, and no one can compare, and he knows that, and he's not afraid to say it. and stuff and ali g, well because he's fuckin ali g, mate! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO!!! He's immortal! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so is syd! mind you he's not dead per say, i guess :o/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ernesto Guevara, because he personifies the selfless revolutionary and man of principle. |
||||||||
|

|
surprised no one said "my lord and saviour, Jesus Christ!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for some reason i bet titsworth would say that |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, today... mine is Erik Satie is mine.... I love him so much.. if you ever get a chance, read one of his good biographies, or a book of his letters. They'll make you smile so big you'll cry***** |

apart from edward VIII - he made the supreme sacrifice of abdicating as king over his lover mrs. simpson just becasue it was 'socially' unacceptable at the time (nuff respect), i guess its bill drummond (klf) - this guy has always struck me as someone who's lived life as it should be - do what you have to, when you have to, not for the sake of others but for yourself and your close family & friends. read his book - no please, do, its called 45 and its the best book i've ever read - witty, knowledgable, etc. genius misundestood (did i say that?, urgh) |

i have a book at the moment from the library on his compositional techniques :) I'm reading a film-biography on David Lynch first tho :) |

Dobbin's post reminds me that another of my heroes is Aleister Crowley -- who was single-minded in his following of the Great Work -- even today, there are documentaries on Channel 4 spreading shit about him... he was a true Renaissance Man. |
||||||||
|

i guess this thread is quite threatening in that it will reveal a lot about your own self. any of your heroes are a reflection of what you admire, respect & look up to of other people. |
||||||||

really?? what is it called? is it a recent one??......oh,.. you haven't read it yet.. yeah, but isn't he great? i could go on for hours.... |
||||||||

|
|
thats why dead heroes are great. umm, cos they can't go and change *Writing letters to dead heroes even... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
so true |

It's called "Satie the Composer" and deals with his approach to composition - his concepts blah blah - written by Robert Orledge, in 1990 |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well I will say it then: Jesus Christ, can't get a better role model than that. sounds funny in comparison, but also ol' Richard D James.. great musician and strange personality.. Tolkien was a great guy and fantastic writer/scholar.. etc. |

my hero is my cat. Because my cat is so bad ass, she has one dark brown eye and one green eye. My sister got this little kitten that thinks its tough shit, so she tries to start crap with my cat. One time I came home and my cat was practically killing the kitten I laughed really hard and then had a sandwitch. My kittie sabrina owns joo! |

i admire Dali, just for his total Fuck you attitude, he done EXACTLY what he wanted, not just in art but his whole day to day life was lived by him and him alone. i'm still holding out for hero |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know if I have a hero, but I admire Richard E. Shultes. He spent a good portion his life collecting indegous shamanic and general plant knowledge knowledge in Mexico and the Amazon. I think he was a friend of Mr. Burroughs. I'd wouldn't mind doing something of the sort on University money someday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not saying you shouldn't admire him, but I read that Dali was a tortured man. Apparently his wife kept him drugged when he was trying to get sober. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh, Dali was fucked up, but just his life overall seems like he had alot of fun and took the piss out of alot of things. i also admire Dr. Alexander Shulgin, just for his vast research into chemicals. |
