Do us a favour would you? Have a listen to a couple of jams from some of the coolest cats to ever walk the planet… the joint that inspired this posts title Outkast’s ATliens and Marvin Gaye’s T Plays It Cool, then follow them up by watching this classic scene from West Side Story and then decide whether or not you agree that these 11 images compiled by The Guardian sum up American ‘cool’…
OR decide whether this one
Or this guy
Or this icon of cool
Or this guy who can’t live without his radio
Or this statement of hippie/biker chic
Or any you yourself choose need to be there…
After all, cool is in the eye of the beholder isn’t it?
