Father of the American navy, and captain of the Bonhomme Richard. He is known for uttering the infamous words "I have not yet begun to fight" when asked if he surrendered by captain of the Serapis.

Friend: "Like, the bassist from Led Zeppelin?"
Me: "No, the Scottish sex god of naval warfare."
Friend: "Oh yeah, what a total badass."

Bassist from legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. His real name was John Baldwin, but chose the stage name after a freind suggested it to him after reading it on a french movie poster. Played Bass, keyboards, piano, organ, and mandolin for Led Zeppelin. His solo career was good, and on his solo albums he plays almost every instrument. A great musician, and often overlooked. Also the name of some navy guy.

The father of the American navy and America's first sea-faring hero. Rarely confused with his well-known namesake, the bassist of the band Led Zeppelin.

The multi-talented "fourth member" of Led Zeppelin. Jones was mostly a bassist, but has played many stringed instruments and keyboards and has worked with dozens of bands.
Can be used to refer to any highly-talented individual who is forgotten among legendary peers.

"Who were the members of Led Zeppelin?"
"Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham...fuck, I forgot the other guy..."
Earle Combs played next to Ruth and Gehrig for the Yankees of the '20s and '30s. He hit .325 in his career yet is forgotten by all but the most dedicated fans; he was the John Paul Jones of the team.
