Ruler of Cuba and arguably the most successful communist dictator of all time, in that a) Cuba's a relatively ok place to live, and b) he hasn't been killed yet. He was mates with Che Guevara, but funnily enough he's never ended up on a t-shirt. History doesn't like survivors.

2. A tribe of indie centred around the piano-centric stylings of Coldplay and various copyists, e.g. Snow Patrol, Athlete, Embrace, James Blunt, Starsailor, Travis.
