I have this thing where I make random lists. So please bare with me, because the bulk of my blog will be made up of these odd lists. enjoy!

1. Eddie Vedder; Lives and breathes his music, not a talking head like some musicians. Eddie puts forth every ounce of his being for every song. You can hear it in his voice especially when he sings live, alot of raw emotion and passion go into his lyrics.
2. Johnny Cash: I think we can all agree that Cash is an all around badass. Cash lived a hard life and he loved to tell about it in the form of song. Even though he had become a superstar world-wide, he remained simple old J.R Cash from Arkansas. A real man's man 'til the end. From the way he looked in the music video for "Hurt" his years had obviously caught up with him and shortly after he passed.
3. John Fogerty: The wild man out of the bayou somewhere in California. Rebelious to this day even at the spry young age of 62. Of course known as the lead man/song writer for Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band was coming into mainstream around the time Vietnam was getting really nasty. His "Swamp Rock" Style earned him fame almost immediately. He was unable to perform his own songs for a number of years due to some copyright issues, but he fought it for over a decade and now he is back on the road singing the songs that he had written so many years ago.
4. Keith Richards: This man has taken in enough illegal substances over the years to kill off the remaining herds of Bison and yet he is alive. Today Richards is 64 and  I wouldn't put it past him to live at least 64 more years. He falls out of trees and cracks his head open and does he die? Answer, of course not its fucking Keith Richards. Substance abuse aside, Keith is one of the greatest guitarists of all time and a better performer is yet to show
5. Mick Jagger: Along with my #4 ranked musician, Jagger has been rocking since the 1960's. He too is now in his 60's and still rocking as hard if not harder than artists half his age. Known as one of the most energetic Lead singers in rock history, Jagger is a Legend who will be held atop a pedestal long after he is dead and gone. With numerous "Farewell tours" taken place The Rolling Stones aren't quite coming to the light at the end of the tunnel I am sure.
