...What? Both Frank Zappa(even if for the wrong reasons) and Bob Dylan are household names. Especially Dylan who is massively overrated, and got over in an equally overrated trend of hippy protest songs.

I think acts like Red Krayola, Sun Ra, Gyorgie Ligeti, even Beefheart(who is somewhat cult popular now, but I doubt so much in the 60s), etc. are the kinds of infinitely more interesting things in music going on that got the shaft.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
