1. Ronnie

[no name no slogan]

2. Townes, and/or Gus

Townes == Brilliant songwriter
Gus == Brilliant moviemaker

[taterguy]

3. Sorry for forgetting about Gus

I watched Even Cowgirls Get the Blues a month ago. I thought it was good but not great.

[no name no slogan]

4. No worries

"Good Will Hunting" is his best, IMHO. Just a nostalgic favorite I guess.

[WCGreen]

5. That's a goodin'....

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Does Gus count?

Since his last name is Van Sant.

He gets my vote anyway.

[taterguy]

8. Gus counts I just forgot about him and don't know how to change the poll

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Just click to edit the post, you should be able to update the poll there.

[taterguy]

11. Click? Seems like too much effort :)

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Yeah, fuck that shit.

[hippiechick]

7. Townes was a man before his time ...

... or from another dimension, or something. What a creative - but tortured - soul.

And a huge inspiration for the man in my sigline, Ray LaMontagne. O8)

[Lautremont]

9. EASILY Townes.

[enigmatic]

13. Townes

Not even close.

[taterguy]

14. Is this going to be the only poll ever with more replies than votes?

You'd think DU would have an opinon on the only issue that matters

[Zomby Woof]

15. Ronnie

Although it's spelled Van Zant. :-)

I love Townes too.

[Skittles]

16. I knew Townes, babysat for his kid

he was talented but a messed-up drunk

[Fenris]

17. Townes. No question.

Steven is second - his radio show is awesome.

18. I'm surprised and pleased to see Townes winning.

I thought he was too obscure to take on Little Steven or Skynyrd.

[taterguy]

20. It's all the Big Lebowski fans in the Lounge

They worship his near-perfect cover of Dead Flowers that concludes the movie

[asthmaticeog]

21. I'd wondered if it was maybe Beach Boys fans confusing him with Van Dyke Parks.

:evilgrin:

[liberaltrucker]

19. Being a loyal Alabamian...Ronnie

"Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue"

:patriot:

[Redbear]

22. I voted for Silvio

The hair alone is enough.
