Is there any rock star cooler then Ringo Starr ?

[Cosmicman]

You guys are mixing talent up with coolness.

Ringo's Rotogravure totally sucked, and he'll be the first person to admit it.

Now THAT is just plain cool

Artist like Elvis, Paul and John CAN'T be cool because they're too dedicated.
You can make them cry if you say their album sucks

That is what I meant. It sucked so bad that I used to hide "stuff" inside the album jacket because no one would use it or open it up to look in there.

That thing was horrible.

Anybody have any idea what Spooky Weirdness really was?

I had a couple of albums that I used for the same purpose

Gatefold covers were great for that

I used to keep porno mags in my Michael McGear album

and pot in my Steve Martin comedy albums

Of course Ringo is cool. Just look at his wife to see how cool he is.

[Hector]

To me, Ringo is a dork.

The coolest was Jim Morrison...nuff said.

[Hector]

Johnny Cash also comes to mind.

How can someone who killed himself at a young age with drugs be cool ?

I like Jim Morrison and he was cool. He was very intelligent and had a near genius IQ. However, he obviously wasn't very wise. What I read in a 1992 article was that he took pretty much what anyone would give him and got his hands on some bad heroin, which killled him flat. Paris wasn't as big in autopsy as we were so they signed the death certificate as heart attack and that was that; they buried him. But he was cool and full of talent. Just not a very good role model.

I also admire Johnny Cash and more so than Morrison or Elvis because he turned himself around (with the help of a good woman at his side) and did what he could to turn others who were led astray (in prison or teenagers) by his recordings and throwing some gospel music and recording songs with deep meaningful lyrics. He too was cool and indeed is a good role model. (btw, he never spent any time in prison, he had a knack for taking on the first person roll as outlaw in his songs but that was just a stage act. Perhaps he secretly admired bad guys and thought of himself as one that turned around and tried to do what he could to get others to follow.) But he is the epitimy of cool.

Ringo, I don't follow him much but I do like the Beatles and I do like his name!

I really don't care about his drugs or how he died.

When he performed...he was one cool mofo.

Elvis had it all,the voice,the hair,the look,the chicks come on...who else could've pulled off that Flight suit but him

Don't get me going on Elvis! I love Elvis!
Don't know what it is with my hometown area. There must be about five or six Elvis Impersonators running around and booking shows with their karaoke machine as their "back up band."

What is it with Elvis Impersonators? Old people flock to them.

[MIB41]

Yes...there is one cooler - SAMMY. He's cool incarnate. And then Paul Stanley after that.
