The Coolest Person Ever?

[bulldogtragic]

So there I am watching Bowie's Black Star on the Tele and I ask the better half, 'he's got to be the coolest guy ever, right? I mean if aliens came down and wanted to see the coolest person who ever lived cool, the person next to cool in the dictionary, the person who is just so cool you don't even have to say it type of cool. It just exudes from them'.

After much wasted time of our lives, I stuck with Bowie, although Samuel L. Jacksons name came up, but she went with Michael Hutchence before he shacked up with Paula Yates. I think that's more swagger and a fun arrogance, as opposed to cool though.

Anyone care to weigh in on who the coolest person ever, from any time is?

Jackson lost most of his shine one he started doing the Bet365 ads.

Lenny kravitz seems pretty cool to me.

Jarvis Cocker for mine. Happily Brit Pop when everyone else was really really trying to be Brit Pop.

Bowie's a good one.

There's a few International and Melbourne based EDM producers that I could nominate (if it was just music), but it would probably be lost on a few. Plus, they're pretty geeky.

It will be interesting to see who can throw female options up, and I reckon this will be fairly music and art oriented.

Pheobe Philo was super cool to me until she geeked out over Kanye talking about how big a fan he was.

Kim Gordon is pretty cool (kool?) too

You're miles off ya numbut (apart from the Philo bit)....but luckily for you, GQ has the remedy for your lack of sense:

I wrote in my original post to this thread that there's a lot of EDM producers dj's etc that could fit the bill, that I couldn't mention due to their lack of commercial notoriety. Having been a fair observer of that scene and participant to boot, for quite some time, it's pretty much the cool chicks that tie the whole thing together. No party's fun as a sausage fest, and sausage fests are only avoided through the accompaniment of clued in and very smart and cool women folk.

No, sorry, that's a mistake. Definitely me.

Good choice. I also loved the effortless cool of Kim Deal.

Bowie is the god of cool.
