An establishment figure?

Here are some of my heroes and heroines. What have they in common?

Tennis: Ilie Nastase
Snooker: Alex Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan
Literary: Dorothy Parker





















Chess: Victor Korchnoi
Politics: Bob Geldof
Pop Music: Siouxsie Sioux
Preaching: Amos

Add a high regard for Keith Moon and Alice Cooper and three fictional Js from TV and film: Jim Rockford, James Bond and Jack Bauer.

They are all bad boys and girls. They mock, disobey and disrespect the powerful and pompous. They are controversial and they don't mind. Whereas I only wish I was more like them (gifted would be a start, you may say). Can I be an establishment figure?
