Outrageousness was part of Liberace's shtick - am I wrong? in that sense he was a lot badder than a lot of these rock stars. a true non-conformist. | |

The REAL baddest white boy alive!!! And he's also THE blackest sounding one at that!!! George Michael (during the Faith era) was also damn good at being his blackest (read: soulful)! I thought this thread was supposed to be about badass artists who happen to be white.  Not about who's white and can sound black or "act" black. Actually, I have no idea what this thread's supposed to be about now. I just thought we were supposed to post our favorite baddass, or "cool" if you will, performers.  Please don't take it out of context. It means "funky" "soulful" & "deep"!  | |

And please, listen to Michael McDonald's voice very careful. If I was blind from day one & I heard that voice for the first time ever, I would have thought that Michael was black (at first). The man is deep. Understand? | |

jacktheimprovident said: I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but I resent the notion that being cool or badass is the exclusive province of black people. Not saying that you personally are promoting this idea, but I think it's gotten way out of hand in popular culture. The prevailing assumption seems to be that black automatically=cool while white=lame. Again, no offense, but starting a thread entitled "the baddest white boy" implies as though the absolute baddest people are black and that badass white people are the anomalies.
Aaaaanyway, pardoning my rant here are some of my picks: Mick Jagger, Frank Zappa, Todd Rundgren, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Angus Young, Les Claypool, Buckethead(i assume he's white), Henry rollins, Ian McKay, Dave Brubeck (I saw him perform last year, he's over 80 years old and still kicks ass), Buddy Holly (yes four-eyes' can be badass), Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton (used to be), Paul McCartney (when he was a Beatle), Joey Ramone (even though I'm not a huge fan of the Ramones' music), Freddy Mercury. i am with you; 'bad' isn't the exclusive province of one tribe... and the definitive answers are: joey ramone freddie mercury posture your mandables towards the sky
and oscilate them in an apathetic manner throw your hands in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care | |

How is saying If I was blind from day one & I heard that voice for the first time ever, I would have thought that Michael was black (at first). The man is deep. not equating soul with "blackness"?
