Here are the more recent social Genius; the folk that influenced my generation.

With a turn of phrase: Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg

A guitar was more than any of us imagined: Jimmy Hendrix

The songs of folk could make a difference: Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie.

I can't get a picture up but JRR Tolkien would fit right in this company of great minds.

I wondered where I'd seen this mug...
Yup, the woman who made me give up piano, but also understand Schumann's concerto at last!

Bill Hicks, the greatest standup comic of all time.
"You ever been to England, anyone, been to England? No one has handguns in England, not even the cops. True or false? True. Now-in England last year, they had fourteen deaths from handguns. FFFFFourteen. Now-the United States, and I think you know how we feel about handguns...Twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. Now let's go through those numbers again, because they're a little baffling at first glance. England, where no one has guns, fffffffourteen deaths. United States, and I think you know how we feel about guns...twenty-three thousand deaths from handguns. But there's no connection, and you'd be a fool and a Communist to make one. There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone. There have been studies made and there is no connection at all there. Yes. That's absolute proof. You know, fourteen deaths from handguns. Probably American tourists, too.
(Angry tourist voice) You call this a sandwich? BANG! BANG! You don't boil pizza! BANG! BANG!
(Scared English voice) That's the way we eat here, that's the way we eat here! BANG!
(Tourist voice) This food sucks! BANG!"
