I hate self-righteous celebrities who raise the profile of diseases after they get them.
not technically an "artist" (although it could be argued), one of the most remarkable men that ever lived, a fantastic footballer, and then went on to become one of the greatest managers ever to grace the game. Outspoken, deeply troubled, and adored by the British public. a truly interesting man.

My dad read the McDonald founder's biography and it seems like a very interesting one. And nope, his name isn't McDonald, but Ray Kroc.
