shaun kemp from seattle supersonics????

 

Yep, I was a huge fan of his and the Sonics until they screwed him over. Stood outside the footlocker store on Oxford street for 5 hours in the rain to meet him and Kenny Anderson. Was totally disappointed as he was totally uninterested in greeting us kids who looked up to him :(

 

Have a lot of admiration for AI as he is one of those players who just keeps going at the defense, regardless of his size and any injury's. Just a shame that he left my team (76ers) :(

What is the definition of a hero?

 

Hero (male) and heroine (female) came to refer to characters that, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice, that is, heroism, for some greater good, originally of martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence.

 

The literal meaning of the word is "protector", "defender" or "guardian".

 

 

//edit: We're probably talking more about idols than heroes.

wernt he roughly out the same time? i had the stranglers on on a punk mix tape when i was 13 ish

 

Reckon the stranglers track was about 1978/79 maybe. I saw them live in 76 and was 15 at the time! Not so sure about the bowie track, think that may have been a bit later.

 

Edit: Both from 1977
