"Well, I don't know which one is worse, doing your own thing or just being cool."
Bob Dylan
The cool factor- who has it?
My question relates to music and musical artist's performance and music. Who has that COOL factor? In the past or currently. For example I think the Beatles had it and also Bob Marley. Today I think Lenny Kravitz (if for nothing certainly for his longevity).
Thoughts?...

@whart on your quoted “Miles D” and the car crash episode. You are indeed a real borderline cool dude party pooper. l will now forever think of Miles Davis as the “black, white powder guy” |
Miles Davis was not a cool guy in real life, many, many issues. And some of the others mentioned here also not cool in real life. Harming oneself is one thing, harming others is quite another.
I also saw Miles live towards the end, the audience treated him as a god, basically all he could do at this point was blast out a single note from time to time. Really one the worst displays of trumpet playing I've ever seen, band carried the show, he was missing in action. |
Giving the women their due. Julie London, Peggy Lee, Lana Del Rey. Mose Allison so cool and clever.
Louis Prima and Keely Smith, "just A Gigolo", their whole act was the epitome of cool.
Dave Cousins of Strawbs, do people equate sensitive with cool, or is cool about being aloof? I do love the entire Brit folk/rock/traditional movement of early 70's. Brit music in general way cool, they've invented so many genres.
