I like the alternatives suggested in this thread over what is being proposed in the article:
* Mark Twain
* Matt Groening
They are people who have captured the zeitgeist of their time and immortalized it in their art. They deliver their (countercultural) messages in an accessible and relatable way and have had a huge impact on our society.
I would add Shel Silverstein as my personal favorite.
