Who do you idolise or respect or look up to? Who is your hero?



For me, one of my all time heros must be KEITH MOON, dead drummer of The Who!



The Who is a British rock band of 1960's and 1970's fame. Noted for the dynamism of their live performances and for their thoughtful music, they are also acknowledged as having been rock pioneers, popularizing among other things the power chord and the rock opera (most notably the immortal "Tommy") under the leadership of Pete Townshend. Their earlier "mod" albums, which boasted short, aggressive pop songs, Pete Townshend's distinctive power chords, and constant themes of youthful rebellion and romantic confusion, were formative influences on punk rock and power pop. Entertainment-wise, they were famous for destroying their instruments at the end of shows (especially Townshend, whose guitar-smashing would become a rock cliche), and infamous wildman Keith Moon added to the band's reputation with frequent shows of destruction, such as destroying hotel rooms (another eventual cliche) and, according to rumor, driving his Rolls Royce into a swimming pool intentionally; it does seem like something the eccentric Moon would do.



The original band members were:


Pete Townshend - guitar, primary composer, piano & synthesizer on studio recordings

Roger Daltrey - vocals, harmonica

Keith Moon - drummer

John Entwistle - bass guitar, brass instruments

Charlie Simpson - backup bass guitar



The band's classic era, and in many respects the band itself, ended in 1978 with the untimely death of the inimitable Keith Moon.

This is my hero!Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Albert Einstein is, of course, famous for his theories of relativity and many other advances in Physics, if you can include such astonishments as shattering Newtonian physics in the category of "advances".

Vinnie Jones....          Jones started his football career at non-league Wealdstone, before moving to Wimbledon in 1986. He was part of the 'Crazy Gang' team that won the FA Cup in 1988, arguably the club's greatest achievement. He subsequently played for Leeds United, Sheffield United and Chelsea, before moving back to Wimbledon in 1992. He played over 250 games for the Dons, before briefly becoming player/coach of QPR in 1998.

While a footballer, he was famous for his "hard man" image. He was sent off 12 times in his career, and once was booked after only 3 seconds of play. In one notorious incident he distracted Paul Gascoigne by grabbing his testicles . During another match, he ended the career of Tottenham defender Gary Stevens with a vicious tackle. However, during his season at Leeds United, he proved that he could prosper and play well without the illegal side of his game, and under the stewardship of Howard Wilkinson only received 3 yellow cards in the whole season.

Nice guy!
