NFT: Who is your vote for the coolest dude in the last 100 years

Moondawg : 8/22/2016 11:52 am
So many to choose from, including actors, athletes, businessmen, etc.

I thought of a few great choices, including a quiet gun slinging actor turned director.

But I would vote for Dean Martin. Smooth and graceful(even when performing goofy physical comedy). Great singer (I prefer him to Sinatra, but I admit this is personal taste and not objective). Can dance, with impeccable comic timing.

And the dude just had crazy charisma. Goldie Hawn said that she cracked up in the clip below because she was so nervous to be in the presence of man she found so attractive.

So, who is your choice? And only give 1!

Lots of great choices named already

Particularly David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, John Kennedy, Jack Nicholson, Bill Murray, and Tom Waits.

But to me, being the smartest guy on the planet is pretty cool, so in lieu of naming myself (that would be pretty egotistical), I'm going with Albert Einstein. If you think he doesn't quite make the 100 year cut because the publications of his special relativity was in 1905 and general relativity was in 1916, then how about Richard Feyman.

Today's "smartest guy on the planet award" goes to Ed Witten for his M-Theory, which is the first mathematically sound "theory of everything" to be published. But to see hims speak (and hear his voice), he would seem to be the opposite cool. Which makes him all the more cool.

So, in other words, you have no idea who Frank Zappa was.

Oddly hostile post, osi. "Coolest" means having a certain affect or way about you. It does not mean "greatest"
RE: John Wayne was the real deal - read the book.

John Lennon - not much of a man - left his wife and kid, with nothing when he had a ton of cash - and was pretty much a wussy.


Feel the same way about Lennon. Not an appealing fellow.
