TIME Magazine released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

TIME Managing Editor Rick Stengel said, “The TIME 100 is not a list of the most powerful people in the world. It’s not a list of the smartest people in the world, it’s a list of the most influential people in the world. They’re scientists, they’re thinkers, they’re philosophers, they’re leaders, they’re icons, they’re artists, they’re visionaries. People who are using their ideas, their visions, their actions to transform the world and have an effect on a multitude of people.”

Here are some of the most influential personalities:

LEADERS & REVOLUTIONARIES

Nicolas Sarkozy, Joaquín Guzmán, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton

BUILDERS & TITANS

The Twitter Guys, Brad Pitt, Suze Orman, Stella McCartney

ARTISTS & ENTERTAINERS

Rush Limbaugh, M.I.A., Kate Winslet, Penélope Cruz, John Legend, The View, Zac Efron, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks

HEROES & ICONS

Michelle Obama, Tiger Woods, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin

Michael Eavis, the organiser of Glastonbury music festival, is in the list. Great guy that he is, he isn't one even of the 100 most influential people in the UK, let alone the world.

They words about Eavis in the article come from Chris Martin of Coldplay. I suspect the words came first, then they slotted him into the list. Kind of discredits the rest of the list for me.
