20 Men I Admire

I was originally tagged with this meme over at that swingin' blog The Dino Lounge run by Keith. The rules are simple:

This is called the 20 Men I Admire Meme. The title pretty much says it all. I decided to pick entertainers of the past (some of these men are still living), but other bloggers could pick men of any era.

Make sure you post these rules when you participate in this meme. Here are the rules:

A. Link back to the blog that tagged you.

B. Link back to the originator of this meme, which is The Dino Lounge.

C. Create your own list of 20 men that you admire and post them on your blog.

D. Tag 5 other people to particpate in this meme.

E. If you like, please let The Dino Lounge know that you've participated in this meme so he can check out your posting and comment on it. Thanks.

Anyways, here are my choices in no particular order:

David Lynch




















Jack Kerouac













Jello Biafra



















Lenny Bruce















Jim Jarmusch



















Steve McQueen



















Clint Eastwood

















Lee Marvin



















Paul Newman



















Michael Mann



















Bill Murray



















Mike Patton













Steven Wright














Orson Welles



















Tom Waits













Robert Mitchum



















Joe Strummer



















Hunter S. Thompson

















Bruce Springsteen



















Warren Oates
