    I have a few but i would say one of the top guys would be Bruce McLaren, he may not be as famous or as respected as people mentioned before but he was deticated to his love and died doing what he loved most.... Racing
    The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.

    Steve Waugh or Sir Don Bradman (1908-2000)
    Both awsome cricketers and great ppl in general.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    Plus, Nelson Mandela, Chuck Norris, Morgan Freeman, Ricky Gervais and Marcos Ambrose.
    I am a New Zealander, and I hate Greg Murphy. Yes, we exist.

    Bob Dylan. He's a guy who had his priorities right ... family over music, good music over pop. He was idolised my so many people for the wrong reasons and to break that, he put his reputation on the line. When he plays music, he does what he likes; the tour of '66 was famous for being the tour that made everyone think he was a 'judas'. However, change has to come, and Dylan preferred electric instead of acoustic, to the dismay of his folksie fans.

    Should be going to see him play if he decides to do Bournemouth again on his next tour.

    so true.

    Mine is probably...Lou Reed. Cause hes still bad-ass at like 60. And he
    influenced at least 2 decades of rock.

    I would say my uncle, he opened his own garage at 18 and has worked his ass off for everything he has(which is a lot of nice cars, nice homes,etc).

    On a musical side, eddie vedder. His passion for his music is amazing. He sings about his past and present and the emotion he shows is just incredible.
    Just for kicks for any disbelievers, watch this:

    Good to see some people actually posting their relatives and, erm, psychotic housepets...

    If it wasn't for my family I wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as I am at the moment. That's in music, in possessions, in emotions and empathy.

    I thought he was dead?

    Another of my idols...for living a lifestyle I wish I could. (Being a professional beach bum.)

    Jimmy Buffett.

    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls
