This is called the 20 Men I Admire Meme. The title pretty much says it all. I decided to pick entertainers of the past (some of these men are still living), but other bloggers could pick men of any era.
Make sure you post these rules when you participate in this meme. Here are the rules:
A. Link back to the blog that tagged you.
B. Link back to the originator of this meme, which is The Dino Lounge.
C. Create your own list of 20 men that you admire and post them on your blog.
D. Tag 5 other people to particpate in this meme.
E. If you like, please let The Dino Lounge know that you've participated in this meme so he can check out your posting and comment on it. Thanks.

Keith the 20 woman meme did not interest me much when it was floating around. I don't know why not. But this one does. I hope I can tag myself and join in.

Hey Bill. Thanks for the comments. Glad you liked it. I wasn't sure if you would want to participate or not, so I didn't tag you. Definitely consider yourself tagged if you would like to do this. That's cool. Cheers!
Hmmmm - I'll have to give it some thought - great idead though
Thanks Dave. I definitely hope you'll participate. I look forward to seeing your choices.
This one sounds interesting. I'll definitely have to take you up on this one. Hmmm...
Hey Gilligan. Thanks. Glad you like it. I definitely look forward to your posting. I'm sure it will be awesome.
Hello Keith. This is a fabulous concept. I applaud you for it. I love the men you picked for your list. I agree with you on all of them.
Hey Phoebe. Thanks. I'm really glad you liked the list. I knew we had talked about some of these men before. Cheers!
hey thanks for the tag! ill do this post today :)
and i definitely see a pttern in the men you chose: ladykillers, all of them! haha
You can tag me anytime. I may not get to it real fast but I will fill in my duty. My only worry is tagging 5 others in these Meme things. Usually all the people I know are already tagged. The task is not issue. Give me some time and let me think..thanks.
Bill
i gave it a got myself!
Hey Molly. Thanks. I can't wait to check out your post. I appreciate you doing it. Glad you liked the choices I made. I think all of these guys are so cool. Cheers!
Hey Bill. Thanks for the comments. The next time I do one of these I'll keep you in mind. I wasn't sure if you would do it or not. Sometimes it can be quite hard to think of people to tag since it's like all of us would tag the same people. I do hope you'll give this a go. It would be cool to see your choices. Cheers!
Hey Brodie. Thanks. Just checked out and commented on your posting. I'm going to have to pay a visit to your blog more. It looks cool. Stop by the Dino Lounge or my other blog Sugar & Spice anytime you like. Cheers!
Um, I am doing your thing...So, just following the rules. I think Wayne Newton was an interesting choice, but totally see how he could be on an admirability list. He knows how to work it...
I got tagged by Gilligan. My post here.
Hey Sister Libby. Thanks. I look forward to checking out your post. I know some people don't like Wayne Newton, but I've always liked him. I decided to put him on my list. He's a legend. Cheers!
Hey Darius. Thanks for participating. I'm going to check out your post now. Cheers!
Great post Keith - I admire them too.
Keep up the cool blogging.
Glenn Bishop
Hey Glenn. Thanks. I appreciate that. Cheers!
I saw Louis Armstrong in 1966 in Louisiana while in the Army. Have not seen a greater performance since.
Hey there. That's awesome. I would love to have seen Louis perform. I bet it was a fantastic show. Cheers!
