The Bee Gees

Well more like composer: Hans Zimmer
But actual performer would be Vivaldi or uh... hmm... oh, Kanye West.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Couple of bugs... Beatles
Powered by Android

Too hard to narrow it down to one....but one of my favourites is Bob Dylan, among others.

I too have plenty, but probably my biggest musical inspiration is Tim Smith, lead singer of the mighty Cardiacs
Tim suffered a stroke a couple of years back, and I always take every available opportunity to say...
Get well soon, Tim!!

Roberto Carlos.
The Brazilian music king.

Seriously, I have no favorite historical person. There are a great many I like or respect, for instance the U.S.'s founding fathers, or John Locke, or Winston Churchill, or Thomas à Becket.
I am far more impressed with and inspired by those of good moral and ethical character, in particular those willing to defend their moral compass even at the cost of their own life.

Not bad for someone whose flight instructor said he was unremarkable and wouldn't amount to anything huh?
Seriously though, it wasn't his efficiency in combat that make him so unique but the almost superhuman way in which he went about living his life. For example, after losing his lower leg in battle he was told that he faced a six month stint in hospital and would never fly again. Six weeks later he had fashioned himself a prosthesis, checked himself out and pitched up at his airfield asking for a plane to fly.
After the war he went on to complete some 1st ascents (mountaineering), and competed in the Olympics (Skiiing) against able bodied competitors. The list of feats is nearly endless. This man grabbed life by the balls and squeezed hard!
If i had even a fraction of the drive this man had i might have made something of my life
Jesus no joke though lol

They went to college in Wigan with my mate and we used to go clubbing with Richard Ashcroft. The band were pretty new when they supported me and I hate to say it, but they were TERRIBLE!!!
It was about 89/90 and Next thing I heard from them was Bittersweet Symphony. A bit of a change to say the least!
I also forgot to mention that I supported my favourite band EVER - The Cardiacs.
