Maybe I’ll slay a dragon for you…
In recognition of St George’s Day in the UK today, AOL has published a list of who they consider to be the ten greatest living Englishmen.
Obviously our man is in the list, or there would be no real point to this news item, but it’s also great to note that David Bowie is the only musician to make that list.
Here’s the whole thing in alphabetical wotsit…
Greatest living Englishmen
Sir Tim Berners-Lee
David Bowie
Sir Richard Branson
Sir Michael Caine
Stephen Fry
Lewis Hamilton
Stephen Hawking
Jonathan Ive
Jeremy Paxman
Sir Bobby Robson
For those of you thinking: “What a horribly sexist feature,” AOL did actually list who they consider to be the greatest living Englishwomen too…you can read the whole piece
I’ll leave you with the caption accompanying the Bowie shot that AOL used: “David Bowie – The Thin White Duke, the Dame, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane – call him what you want – but they don’t come much bigger in the world of popular music.”
And who could disagree with that?
