Jim Henson was and is my constant source of wisdom and inspiration. His passion for life and vision was incredible, even in the worst of times. Through my childhood eyes, I saw him as a pillar of love, warmth and support and still see him so through my adult eyes. I only wish my dream of meeting him face-to-face to tell him all of this and give him a hug could have come true before his passing...

When I was 8-9 years old, I used to idolize LeAnn Rimes (and the reason for that I'm not exactly sure) and would always say I wanted to be the world's youngest country singer, when in fact I did not grow up in the South! It's been 9 years since that, and I no longer listen to country music, but I still have all LeAnn's CDs (which I don't listen to very much anymore) and will always remember what a great time I had when I saw her and Bryan White in concert during Labor Day Weekend, 1998.

do muppets themselves count as idols?
If dead people count, J.S. Bach is definitely one of mine...

Scott Hamilton, 1984 Olympic Champion, 4 Time World Champion, 4 Time US Champion in figure skating

I also adored Brian Boitano, Paul Wylie, and Kristi Yamaguchi... and still do (now the list is huge as to who I admire lol)
