Wouldn't hit it with Laz's 10 foot pole.
Seriously, read her history. I think I'm the only musician who didn't hit it. She was probably about 70 at the time, leathery skin from too much time in the sun or tanning beds.
And a damn yankee in Savannah...

Personally, all my life I had an aversion to “cool.” Not that I gravitated towards its opposite (geekdom, or whatever) at all, either. Not in the least. It’s just that I always observed that those who seemed to most value “coolness” were invariably the most vapid people around.
Always sought out individuality and strength of character. Even when I was actually quite young.

Almost all....a couple like John Wayne and at a stretch Clint might make our list.

Michael Brecker’s solo during ‘Maxine’. Just damn Nice.
To: Michael.SF.
I agree with most of your comments, but Ringo doesn’t qualify because he’s British. But mentioning Ringo - who covered “Matchbox” and “Honey Don’t” - calls to mind another very cool guy, Carl Perkins. As for Jim Morrison, I disagree; he was too out-of-control to be cool, and his death bordered on suicide, which - by both of our criteria - would disqualify him. Of The Doors, I always thought that Ray Manzarek (RIP) was Mr. Cool, followed by Robby Krieger.

"The list is all liberal’s idols."
I would say that at least half of the names on the list are people conservatives could admire; keep in mind that being a "liberal" fifty years ago did not mean what it now means.

Bix Beiderbecke? Cool until you find out he molested a five-year-old girl.
