Living Legends

Discussion in 'General' started by TheRoeBiz, Aug 23, 2007.

  1. While I was driving today, I heard a radio news story about Les Paul, one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar. I was surprised to learn that he is not only still alive, but is still performing every week at a jazz club - at 92 years old!

    And of course, the writer Ray Bradbury is still alive, and writing. I've grown a little tired of his style, but there's no doubt he is a master, and a legend in his field.

    There are many more incredible people, masters at their field, who are not only still living, but well-respected, productive and thriving in their old age - living legends, in other words.

    Who do you consider to be living legends?
