Who did the research on the Vince Neil story? Razzle was the drummer, not bass “played” of Hanoi Rocks, not Saigon Kick

Really? How could anyone care that Winston Churchill used mustard gas on German Nazi’s during WWII?
Churchill did some really radical and controversial things in his lifetime.. But deciding to fight against Germany (a deadly technologically advanced superior army) while they invaded England, rather than surrender, was his bravest moment in office. The world would be a drastically different place today if “Germania” rose to conquer.

Re Jobs — you’re WAY too nice in even that description. Woz DID THE WORK because Jobs couldn’t figure it out. He then lied to Woz about what he got paid. Jobs was an all-around scumbag in every facet of his life.

Mandela doesn’t belong in this list. Using force against an oppressive government that understands nothing else isn’t what I would consider a horrible thing

Another correction for the Vince Neil entry. I remember when that happened , and it was not in Hollywood. It happened on Esplanade in Redondo Beach, a street I’ve driven on countless times myself.
