Eno @ 60.

Eno: Music for Films "The quietest revolutionary in rock is 60," writes Nick Hasted in the Independent. "Elvis, Dylan, James Brown, even Oasis, have set more souls alight. But, by working for Microsoft (he wrote the Windows start-up theme), Bowie, U2 and Talking Heads, Brian Eno has parlayed outlandish musical ideas into a ubiquitous and lucrative career."

But of course, Eno's much more than just a musician and producer. He's also shot his own video works, mapped his own scents, exhibited art works... for starters. And now, among other things, he's collaborating with David Byrne again; recent online viewing tip: Eno on Barry Lyndon.
