Bill Hicks
Madonna
David Cross
Bob Dylan
Common
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
David Byrne
Elvis
Ghostface Killah
Chuck D (although, as a white bloke with jewish family he probably wouldn't be too keen on me judging by what his book has to say)
Flava Flav
Sly Stone
Zach Braff
Kelis
Curtis Mayfield
Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding
Quentin Tarantino
Christopher Walken

Matt Parker
