Title: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: the captain on July 02, 2009, 07:20:10 PM Prince. Wearing women's clothes only helps sometimes, especially when you can sing and play that way.
Lou Reed. You know why. George Harrison. It's always the quiet ones. Freddie Mercury. Let's see you prance around in tights with your mic stand as a phallic symbol.

Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Music Machine on July 02, 2009, 07:32:13 PM I give Iggy Pop a pass even though the Stooges reunion album and his solo career were very spotty. Those first few Stooges albums will always be excellent as will Kill City and New Values. I still like reading and watching interviews with him and he can still bring it live. I would advize him to put on a damn shirt these days though and some day make another try at an autobiography or at least a my thoughts on..... or transcribed interviews thing like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Beatles did recentley.

For living in a camper on the beach with his old man. And for having been able to enter any room or house with false specs and a false calling card.

I didnt realize how cool George Clooney was until i saw From Dusk Til Dawn, he needs to be in more Tarintino stuff Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: the captain on July 05, 2009, 06:28:17 PM Not that I'm shying away from Tom Servo, Mike Nelson or Joel Hodgson, either. But Gypsy and Cambot suck ass.

And she still makes good records! Also she has a lot of respect for her fans, which shows in the way she runs her own websites: sinatrafamily.com and nancysinatra.com

Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on February 18, 2015, 06:41:09 AM Dunno even half of these people; otherwise, mine are:
The BBs (their being 'underdogs' gives 'em extra coolness) Iggy Pop (singing AND playing a girl in "Dead Man". Didn't know I would get to see Iggy wearing a bonnet, ha!) Lou Reed (2 words:"Sweet Jane") Robert Mitchum (agree with this choice, he's terrific actor, can play at ease both villains & heroes) Sylvester Stallone (might be the best-looking actor of all-time. Imo. Has comedic talent too, watch "Oscar" 'n' "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot") Ron Perlman (underrated by all means. Severe appearance backed with amazingly gracious & noble attitude) Mel Blanc (for voicing one of my favorite cartoons. Esp. 80s "Heathcliff" (title character)) Tim Kazurinsky (best Ozzy imitation, & other SNL skits + starring in "Police Academy", which is cool alone) Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Ovi on February 18, 2015, 07:18:25 AM What would be the definition of 'cool'?
Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Lee Marshall on February 18, 2015, 08:03:08 AM What would be the definition of 'cool'? Anything below 16 celsius or 61 fahrenheit. Al Jardine is now pretty cool. Early on? Maybe not quite as much. David L Marks too. Me. ;) > :hat < Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Ovi on February 18, 2015, 08:09:51 AM What would be the definition of 'cool'? Anything below 16 celsius or 61 fahrenheit.Then I guess Freedie Mercury wouldn't qualify in either case. Because of that Don't Stop Me Now lyric, getit. Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on February 18, 2015, 08:37:25 PM What would be the definition of 'cool'? Whatever floats your boat, dude. Post your list.Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Ovi on February 19, 2015, 03:53:29 AM What would be the definition of 'cool'? Whatever floats your boat, dude.

Post by: Ovi on February 19, 2015, 04:01:40 AM Honestly though, I think there's many kinds of "cool". I associate it mainly with self-confidence and being comfortable in your own skin. Once you have that, you can be nerdy and still be cool, intellectual cool, jocky cool, outcast cool, crazy cool, shy cool and so on.

Edit: mental note to self never interact with Ovi on the board or I'll likely fall asleep. It's even worse in the Sandbox. Imagine Mari - orig. Ms. Sandman. Ha! :P Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on February 19, 2015, 05:12:10 AM Wow, your attitude is pretty cool. Thanks, I try. :3d Can't return the compliment. you are after all... Ovidiu Boar (bore).Edit: send my regards to crooked teeth Romanians! :wave Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: bluesno1fann on February 28, 2015, 01:59:50 PM Lennon. Robert Mitchum. Jim Morrison. Lou Reed. Dylan. Keith Richards. Almost all have the "foda you" attitude. Keith Richards is all-right, but in terms of coolness he's no Brian Jones. During his heyday Jones was the definition of cool, both musically and otherwise. Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: halblaineisgood on February 28, 2015, 02:36:29 PM Brian Jones should have got a non-dutch boy haircut.
Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: bluesno1fann on February 28, 2015, 02:39:31 PM Brian Jones should have got a non-dutch boy haircut. Should keep in mind that his hairstyle was popular back in those days. He wasn't the only big name who had it either. Keith Relf, Michael Clarke (The Byrds).... Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 01, 2015, 09:42:31 PM I like Brian Jones, his story was quite fascinating. But I absolutely loathe the hippie 'prince charming" dressing style, 'tis awful & it didn't make him look cool in the least bit. he looked more like hilarious shortie pseudo-dandy. :quote
What other cool people you can name, Rei? Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: bluesno1fann on March 01, 2015, 10:29:07 PM I like Brian Jones, his story was quite fascinating.

His hippie dressing style was influential for the time, but agreed it hasn't exactly aged well. I suppose another one that comes to mind is Syd Barrett in his prime. Bill Wyman's stage presence (not so much his personal life) was pretty damn cool as well, though I can understand if some found it boring. And then of course there's Dennis Wilson... Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 01, 2015, 11:24:57 PM Well, then I must bring up Al Jardine. :3d And Peter Lorre.
What about cool girls? Mine are: Nico (love her voice AND accent. I need to somehow get voice like that w/o developing bad habits) Angie Zooey Susan Boyle (those who saw her audition know what I mean. The lady has no complexes) Peppilotta (aka the strongest girl in the world) & Russian Alisa (Alice) Kozhikina (watch this clip: Covering "Sunny" on the kids' edition of "Voice" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBXL3WJtwI0)) Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool.

Edit: send my regards to crooked teeth Romanians! :wave What. the. heck. I just thought shifting the thread a bit to discuss what actually "cool" means would make a more interesting discussion then everybody just submitting lists of names. It's fine if you don't want to engage in that direction, but don't start mocking me and posting provocative comments. You don't get the right to do that, especially since everybody on the forum makes fun of you all the time and you don't even realize it. Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 02, 2015, 05:45:50 PM They aren't 'provocative', I added them after the fact, if you see the date of edit, which ain't difficult. It's fine if you want to go in that direction, but you could do that *along* with submitting your list of cool people. I's really interested to know it. I'm very much interested in anyone's opinion, I like to compare them with mine, coz it's fun.
Quote everybody on the forum makes fun of you all the time and you don't even realize it. What is the definition of 'everybody'? :P And they are nothing anyway, if I already have cred in runners. I'm friends with possibly the coolest folk on the board! :3d Get it? :police:Edit: no offense, 'everybody', was jus' kidding. You aren't nothing, you are... Sth.! :-D No really, I like you all, even if you mock me 'all the time', wherever it is, I've not noticed. Tho I think Ovi underestimates my sense of humor or what it's called, I *would* notice even subtle mockery, but I didn't so... :3d Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Capitol Punishment on March 02, 2015, 06:05:12 PM Jim Morrison (You can't say Mr. Mojo Risin wasn't awesome especially if you've heard Celebration of the Lizard)

Edit: send my regards to crooked teeth Romanians! :wave This doesn't look provocative to you in any way? And I didn't even comment on you posting my full name which I find obnoxious. It's fine if you want to go in that direction, but you could do that *along* with submitting your list of cool people. I's really interested to know it. I'm very much interested in anyone's opinion, I like to compare them with mine, coz it's fun. I'm not interested in posting a list, get over it and stop bothering me. Pick another member to insult because he didn't post a fucking list for you to compare and get off on it. Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 03, 2015, 10:53:03 PM Your full name is posted in your blog under the line. Those having eyes can check it anytime. On your 1st bit - no, it doesn't. As I said, I added those comments later, when no one was checking this thread. but then other folks came to chime in, so then you saw the edits.
Afaik, calling someone 'bore' isn't bad, I often call so my friends; they don't mind it. People say worse things on the Internet. Get over. Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: Ovi on March 04, 2015, 07:03:23 AM Your full name is posted in your blog under the line. Those having eyes can check it anytime. It's there for the people who read my blog and are interested in knowing about the person behind it, not for you to throw it around. Oh, whatever, this is too silly and a waste of time for the other people to read. You go your way, but maybe someday you'll realize that your style and attitude on this board are not as interesting and "cute" as you think. Sorry for derailing the thread, I won't do it anymore.

Not sure who else I can think of for now... Title: Re: People Who Are, or Were, Cool. And When. And Why. Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 05, 2015, 08:07:04 PM Once that definitely comes to mind is Grace Slick. To each their own. I don't like her shamanistic ritual howlings & 'hiccups' - and that is mildly speaking. I know, this is about being 'cool' in general, not just best singer, however, this is what she's been known to be cool at. |
