The man has been around since forever. He is a likeable guy who sets his own rules and isn’t afraid to be on the Simpsons and King of the Hill. His songs are pure excellence in writing and melody skills and his Swan Song * On the Road Again* is a part of the fabric of our National Vacations.
My other shot would be Mick Jagger who is the Ultra Cool Bad Boy who will never die, every woman wants to screw and took his own sound, made it his own and became a legend.
Willie Nelson was my very first thought when I saw the thread title. I don’t think anybody fits the bill better. Though, since George Harrison’s passing, McCartney has been my person living musical legend. So, I guess we can have two…
I’d go with Willie too. He’s playing at the Surf in Clear Lake this summer. I can’t imagine what it will be like, seeing him in a small venue like that.
Well, since we’re talking about who’s still there to hold Ray Charles’ torch, we still have blues legend B. B. King still kicking around. There’s also Stevie Wonder (he’s blind, too!).
Not easy to think of who could possibly fill the void left by Johnny Cash, though. Maybe Ozzy Osbourne.
