Topic: Are there any heroes anymore do you have one?

Just like the Stranglers song said.. no more heroes any-more, but I disagree I've got a few, with the peerless Shigeru Miyamoto being one, having bought and played practically everything he's ever produced the amount of sheer joy he's brought me over the years is simply unmatched.
The other being the king of wordplay John Cooper Clarke ever since I first heard him performing 'Kung Fu International' I've been enthralled by his work (always better if you can actually hear him performing his poems than read them) I've been to see him live a few times over the years and have always left buzzing with excitement.. good times! just bought his latest book too.
Here's a taster for those that aren't familiar...

Artists would be more along the lines of fandom or idolization.

I wouldn't qualify any artist as a hero.

That designation should be reserved for firemen, law enforcement, scientists, etc.

But since you mentioned poetry, I'll opt for Oscar Brown Jr.

@Magician

I get what you're saying but I would say that a hero for me is anyone that is highly praised for all their achievements/work and inspires as a result.

no living person comes to mind
