Clyde Frazier: What a cool basketball player looks like.
[co-authored by Andy G & Patrick J]
The great Chuck Klosterman once wrote about Billy Joel that there was absolutely no relationship between his greatness as a musician and his [lack of] coolness as a person. Klosterman distinguished Joel from, well, every single other rock artist in this regard. He explained:
What [rock stars] are is more important than what they do. And this is not a criticism of coolness; by and large, the musical component of rock isn’t nearly as important as the iconography and the posturing and the idea of what we’re supposed to be experiencing. If given the choice between hearing a great band and seeing a cool band, I’ll take the latter every single time; this is why the Eagles suck.
