Aw shucks, I missed the bit about the famous and dead.  That's me out then.  \n\nWrite it in the future.  About yourself, and what you will become. \n\nOr I could kill Pepe for you.... No way!  \n\n\nIf you are going to write about an artist, then you should make sure that they are a REAL artist. For some reason, Jack Kerouac has come into my mind.  He just wrote.  He wasn't after fame or fortune.  I'm sure that you know of others in that vein...

RALPH ELLISON\n\nIn 1936, a few weeks after my arrival in New York City, I was lucky enough to be invited by an old hero and newfound friend, Langston Hughes, to be his guest at what would be my introduction to Broadway theater. I was so delighted and grateful for the invitation that I failed to ask my host the title of the play, and it was not until we arrived at the theater that I learned that it would be Jack Kirkland's dramatization of Erskine Caldwell's famous novel Tobacco Road. No less successful than in its original form, the play was well on its way to a record-breaking seven-and-a-half-year run, and that alone was enough to increase my expectations. And so much so that I failed to note the irony of circumstance that would have as my introduction to New York theater a play with a southern setting and characters that were based upon a type and class of whites whom I had spent the last three years trying to avoid. Had I been more alert, it might have occurred to me that somehow a group of white Alabama farm folk had learned of my presence in New York, thrown together a theatrical troupe, and flown north to haunt me. But being dazzled by the lights, the theatrical atmosphere, the babble of the playgoing crowd, it didn't. And yet that irony arose precisely from the mixture of motives__ practical, educational, and romantic__ that had brought me to the North in the first place.\n\nAmong these was my desire to enjoy a summer free of the South and its problems while meeting the challenge of being on my own for the first time in a great northern city. Fresh out of Alabama, with my junior year at Tuskegee Institute behind me, I was also in New York seeking funds with which to complete my final year as a music major__ a goal at which I was having less success than I had hoped. However, there had been compensations. For between working in the Harlem YMCA cafeteria as a substitute for vacationing waiters and countermen and searching for a more profitable job, I had used my free time exploring the city, making new acquaintances, and enjoying the many forms of social freedom that were unavailable to me in Alabama. The very idea of being in New York was dreamlike, for like many young Negroes of the time, I thought of it as the freest of American cities and considered Harlem as the site and symbol of Afro-American progress and hope. Indeed, I was both young and bookish enough to think of Manhattan as my substitute for Paris and of Harlem as a place of Left Bank excitement.\n\nAnd yet I soon discovered, much to my chagrin, that while I was physically out of the South, I was restrained__ sometimes consciously, sometimes not__ by certain internalized thou-shalt-nots that had structured my public conduct in Alabama. It was as though I had come to the Eden of American culture and found myself indecisive as to which of its fruits were free for my picking. Beyond the borders of Harlem's briar patch__ which seemed familiar because of my racial and cultural identification with the majority of its people and the lingering spell that had been cast nationwide by the music, dance, and literature of the so-called Harlem Renaissance__ I viewed New Yorkers through the overlay of my Alabama experience. Contrasting the whites I encountered with those I had observed in the South, I weighed class against class and compared southern styles with their northern counterparts. I listened to diction and noted dress, and searched for attitudes in inflections, carriage, and manners. And in pursuing this aspect of my extracurricular education, I explored the landscape.\n\nI crossed Manhattan back and forth from river to river and up, down, and around again, from Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the Battery, looking and listening and gadding about; rode streetcar and el, subway and bus; took a hint from Edna Millay and spent an evening riding back and forth on the Staten Island Ferry. From the elevated trains I saw my first penthouses with green trees growi

They are amazing. They definately have chick-flick feeling. He has written the Notebook and A Walk to Remeber. What's kind  of strange is that you would think that they were written by women. He really is a great writer.

Langston Hughes published more than three dozen books during his life, beginning with poetry and then expanding into novels, short stories, and plays. He is closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance, the flowering of African-American literature and music in New York City following World War One. Hughes's work often spoke plainly about the lives of ordinary black people, which in later years earned him a reputation as one of the major black voices of the 1900s.

For the Bible, the answer is "about forty." Of the sixty-six books, several are attributed to the same author (as in the traditional view that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament; in the New Testament, the Gospel of John, I John, II John, III John and the book of Revelation are all attributed to Jesus' disciple. The book of Acts was certainly written by Luke, the writer of the third Gospel. The apostle Paul wrote about 1/3 of the New Testament (the espistles to the early Christian churches).\n\nThere are some books for which an author cannot be readily identified, such as the New Testament book of Hebrews, and a couple in the Old Testament for which authorship is debated, which makes the number forty a very close, if maybe not precise, number. Execpt for the voices of a few very liberal/radical scholars, the academic community is quite settled on this question.\n\nAs for the Qu'ran, I believe tradition holds that the entire thing was revealed to Mohammed; but the text has gone through much redaction, re-arranging and editing, and displays some stylistic changes which suggests more than one author. It's impossible to tell what Mohammed dictated originally, and what was added later, but it seems unlikely that the Prophet wrote the whole thing.

Cuba was a nation of 6.5 million in 1959. Within three months in power, Castro and Che had shamed the Nazi prewar incarceration and murder rate. One defector claims that Che signed 500 death warrants, another says over 600. Cuban journalist Luis Ortega, who knew Che as early as 1954, writes in his book "Yo Soy El Che!" that Guevara sent 1,897 men to the firing squad. In his book "Che Guevara: A Biography," Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering "several thousand" executions during the first few years of the Castro regime.

Strong guitar playing for one thing...I've also read that he was the one that Paul bounced a lot of ideas off of while writing songs during that time.  If that's the case, he definitely helped Wings find a lot of gold records and some great songs! :)
