Also: Sir Edmund Hillary, fist to the summit of Mount Everest, and father of two of my favored inspirational quotes.
"Nothing ventured. Nothing win."
When asked why he wanted to climb Everest: "Because it's there."

But did Edmund, for the sake of rock, shave his hair into a monk cut, thus torpedoing his chances to pick up chicks in his prime musician youth?

Dave was definitely the Ad-Rock of the Monks.

That he had a kind of over the top, from the top of his throat, almost willfully wacky delivery, like Ad-Rock in the Beastie Boys.
