Paul's latest release is probably his best since he left the Beatles. It's a shame but most people won't know about until he is gone. Much like John Lennon's "Double Fantasy". As for most famous person alive, I would go with Ali or The Dalai Lama.
I would go with the Pope or Michael Jackson, although Jordan is way up there and so is Pele. Madonna too. Ali. I don't think Bush is that high, although his infamy does help. What is interesting is that half of these people status is due to media, but people like the pope and Pele had little media exposure by comparison. There names got spread by word of mouth. Michael Jackson has the infamy and success. Which really helps. But he toured the world. Fed Africa. and hit pretty much evey part of the world on his tour. It would be hard to get away from him. But how could you not hear the word pope and know who that person is. Interesting to think about. The world really has a lot of growth left in it too. Fame in the future may be harder to get, because so many people will have media exposure, who will care anymore, but once you do, boom, you'll be on famous lockdown. Prince William is going to be really big. If he could somehow regain power it would be huge.
Have to say Oprah... ..because all the women watch the show, and then they tell all the men later on that day what happened during the show, even if men could care less.
Britney Spears, Mcartney, Oprah... you guys have to be kidding We are talking about the WHOLE world i.e. from a remote village in Africa, South America, Asia to the largest cities. My guess would be one of the following. Ali Beckham Pele Maradona Clinton Bush Mandela Tyson Michael Jackson
[taking heat] just because there are one billion chinese people, does it make their vote more important. let's say they count as 3/5ths of a vote. As americans, our vote counts twice as much. [/taking heat]
