The Lesser Known Talented and Intelligent People

Here simply discuss people that can be described in the subject above.

A good example would be Greg Graffin.
Greg Graffin is the lead singer of the band Bad Religion, an atheist punk rock band that's lasted over 30 years and actually uses talent, unlike the common music today.
Bad Religion has too many albums to count and actually ranges from punk rock, to country at times.
In addition, this may surprise you, but Greg Graffin is a UCLA professor and has a PHD in Zoology. He's also written a book titled: Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God.

Discuss other lesser known geniuses you know of. Maybe you can enlighten others.

Re: The Lesser Known Talented and Intelligent People

Well, there's Tyler, the Creator.   He's not too lesser known, but he started out that way.   He was somehow able to capture both demographics of the people who buy into crap-rap like Lil Wayne and the like, as well as the people who like good rap like Tupac, Wu-Tang, MF DOOM, Talib Kweli.   He also hates hipsters, which is cool.

Also, Bad Religion is brilliant.

Terrance Zdunich,
Terrance Zdunich,
Terrance Zdunich,
Terrance **** Zdunich. He's just wtf amazing. He wrote the screenplay for Repo! The Genetic opera, drew the animated sequences in it, acted in it, composed the music, and he **** sang them too. He has a 12 part comic book, he's helped create yet ANOTHER musical... I mean, seriously, he's an illustrator, writer, actor, composer, singer... He's just an artist in more than one way. He pretty much has all the talents I admire in people, plus he's **** gorgeous so that's even more amazing.

Emilie Autumn. She's actually a lot like Terrance Zdunich, talent wise. She sings, plays the violin, composes all her own music, she has a book, she draws pretty well, and funnily enough she's also in -cough- a musical (you know, the one I mentioned when I said 'ANOTHER musical...').   She survived being booked in an asylum, she's gotten over it, and she's badass. And gorgeous too. Along with her Bloody Crumpets.
I guess that's why I think The Devil's Carnival is so awesome. Because they're both doing various things in it (with Terrance doing pretty much everything he did in Repo! and with Emilie acting and singing).

I like topics like these, because I get a chance to spread hell and the plague. (oh wow that was clever)

YES.
I still find it sad that Douglas Adams had to have a heart attack only at age 49. If he lived longer he would have continued the Dirk Gently series.

It would be neat if there was a Dirk Gently movie

Joe Lewis. http://www.pretendisavedtheday.co.uk/

Not the music I like, barely anybody knows him. Works in a school and hates it there. Organises many thing, currently organising a festival and has organised something on I Tunes. He currently isnt in a band although he was. He is very friendly. So if I dont like his music why mention him? He is my brother in law... in waiting.
