20. Chow Yun Fat! He is also cool in person!
He was at a car show in France, where my nephews were hanging out. He posed with one of my nephews for pics and one of his entourage emailed the photo to my nephew's parents. So cool.

We have the photo on our refridgerator.

12. Johnny Cash!
Ripped on speed, trashin' hotel rooms before anybody ever heard of Led Zeppelin and rockin' his ass off so bad that nobody could figure out what box to put him in.

Then, he lived through all of it and became an elder statesman! He was the King Of Rock And Roll.

21. No offence meant
but John Lennon was a thug till Stuart Sutcliffe taught him how to be cool. John spent his life persuing Stu's ideas He, of course, surpassed his mentor, but Stu was dead at 22.
