Have you ever had an idol or role model?

@blazed is mine. No chance of me ever meeting him though.

I can't help but feel that meeting my idols would be a huge disappointment. I mean, imagine finding out they're only human after all

I met mine many times. He is human, but not "only human". Quirky. Eccentric even.

Thanks for that. One of my all time favourite songs but I've only ever heard the Tommy James and the Shondells version. It's an age thing...........

Got a few folks I'd consider heroes for various reasons and have been lucky enough to meet them all, bar one but he's dead so that's fair enough really.

Not really,but if i had to pick one it'd be this chap.

Oh no,i've just thought of another. Summer 1970 and i saw him.There he was tanned,smooth talking and always had a wink in his eyes for the "birds". I wanted to be like him when i grew up. He was "Miffy" the local window cleaner! What a life he must live, i thought. I saw him years late,around the pubs and clubs and even then, he always had a wedge of money and a bird on his arm.

Napoleon Bonaparte. Great reformer and statesman. Excellent leader and tactician.

I can imagine he was an idol to a lot of us of a certain age

Was he on keyboards or guitar?

Spoons I think, although he could get a tune out of half empty wine glasses too I heard

To be serious for just a moment: theclaud is one of a handful of people who cause me to reflect on why I see things in the way I do, and to modify some long-held opinions as a result of that reflection. Socially, she is an exotherm. I don't mind admitting that she is someone I look up to.
