People you really look up to

[Gandalf]

There are a lot of people I respect.

I would include William S Burroughs, Noam Chomsky, Steven Hawking, Richard Dawkins, John Lydon, Vincent Van Gogh as some that I have listened to or read about in the last year or so. I'm not so sure I can say I respect Jack the Ripper. He pushed the barriers a little too far. Plus we don't know who he was.

John Lydon I fuck in hate that prick, for two pin's I would remove his teeth.

I can understand how he rubs some people the wrong way, but I like a man with opinions and who isn't afraid to say what is on his mind.

We all have opinions if he gave me his he would be in AE, as for what's on his mind not much the
stupid thick twat.

He has a public persona that can seem harsh, but in a world of PC empty heads, Lydon has always been a breath of fresh air. I don't find him stupid at all. He isn't classically educated or anything like that, but he knows how to cut through bullshit and that makes him real. Some very good music over the years too.

Mind you we didn't need a Sex Pistols reunion, but a man has to feed his family.

Lydon and myself are about the same age, in my younger day's he was a cock then and now , when in
life you take a dislike to some one he is pretty much top of the list.
I am a straight talking person, Lydon is just a lovey full of crap say's one thing doe's an other he's just
a waste of fresh air.

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that, but to a degree a lot a lot of people are full of contradictions. Lydon has his, but he is also opinionated and interesting and I respect him as someone with something to say. For similar reasons I like Morrissey. These are the kinds of people who say what they feel at a given time and often it is against the PC molded grain. For instance I thought it was refreshing when Lydon said 'good riddance', when talking of the death of Sid Vicious. He was a friend who became a junkie and got what he deserved for dancing with the devil. Very few people would speak so candidly and in a way I agree with Lydon. He is also very funny.

As I have said before, I can see why some wouldn't like him. However, I do and so on my list he stays. I could probably add a lot more people to my list as I am always jumping between obsessions.

Miles your list is your list, Morrissey and Lydon fuck you have no taste two toss pot's, if you put the two together you could not make a fuck in idiot out of both.
Here's a tip Miles, people you my look up to may disappoint you it a fact, reformed junkie and the other a complete Jackass, hardly two roll model's.
But Miles you like them and if we all liked the same thing life would be boring, but when I was breeding dog's those two would have been in the bucket no problem.

What do role models have to do with it? I don't like people just because they are role models. I like them for a variety of reasons. People must have something to say. William Burroughs was a junkie who shot his wife in the head. Clearly no role model, but he was also a fantastic writer and that is what I like. Morrissey summed up the human condition in verse form and as a collective produced great music in The Smiths. Never mind the bollocks is a classic and Lydon has achieved more than most of us in his lifetime and I respect the impact. Let me know when anyone today makes something as sublime as God save the Queen. It is a statement and worthy.

I see no reason to hate on and be so rude about people who have changed lives.
