The coolest average joe looking fecker

    Who is the coolest person in the world that if you didn’t know them you’d think they were some sad act. Maybe avoid them.

    I’m going for black Francis from the pixies. If he sat beside you on the bus in his prime and you didn’t know him you would think he was on the way back from collecting some sort of welfare. But in fact he is the man who wrote some of the greatest songs of all time. Inspired a lot of the grunge stuff Kurt Kobain etc and yet I could picture him getting on the bus clutching a bag for life full of junk smelling of pee.

    Anybody else.

    I'm unable to copy images - but (if anyone could, on my behalf) there are a thousand images of Tom Waits looking like he seriously needs a bowl of soup. This is the Tom Waits who is amongst the greatest song writers of our times.

    There’s a guy I see some mornings cycling through Ranelagh... he’s an Indian looking man, into his 50’s I’d say with a huge long grey beard that flows and splits in the wind. He’s damn cool looking.

    Won the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan. Citation is long but well worth the read to see how he risked his life on multiple occasions to save his comrades.

    One time I was in a restaurant when I noticed Bono having a meal with a scruffy acquaintance.

    Bono got up to go to the toilet so I asked his friend if he'd take a picture of me with Bono when Bono returned, which he duly did.

    After they left I asked the waiter for my check.

    The bill came to 42.50 so I did a runner.

    When I seen the thread title Joey Dunlop immediately sprung to mind,rumour has it that when Honda head hochos arrived over from Japan to see who would be riding their expensive bikes they couldn't believe that the scruffy,humble,quietly spoken person was that man.

    I'm going to throw this out there on a crazy wild hunch. The likes of Francis and his peers can't stand people like you.

    Who gives a flying fruck? As long as he makes the songs he likes I couldn’t care. You see these people work for me the customer. You think the fella in tesco that sold you your soup for one tonight on your way home from work likes you?

    You do know all these people sell a story that you can chose to believe but growing up their parents could afford music lessons. This is a business they are in. You honestly think they got back together because their message needed to be shared?

    But they are cool as foooook.

    I'd say Paul Oakenfold would look normal enough and be able to mingle when off his DJ circuit without the need for minders etc.

    He worked as a firefighter before becoming an actor. After 9/11 he returned to his old unit and worked 12 hour shifts for a week sifting threw the rubble, looking for survivors. He didn't do any interviews and just got on with it.

    Mark E Smith. Even in his younger days just looked like a fella you might see working in a garage. Never cared about image. As he got older looked like a street drinker.

    Yeah nobody average Joe looking suggested yet, they all look monied and well accustomed to the paperazzi lens. I'm on the dog and bone so I can't post a pic, but my vote goes to Shaun Ryder.
