Andisheh Nouraee and Joeff Davis talk about working together on "Atlanta's 11 least influential people"
Audio Slide Show
To be included in Creative Loafing's 2007 list of Atlanta's 11 Least Influential People isn't an insult, or even a backhanded compliment. It's a tribute to women and men everywhere who struggle – often in vain, often just with agonizingly slow results – to meet the essential challenges of life in a modern American city. Our 11 Least Influential want to earn a decent living. They want to be loved, accepted and free. They want to live in peace. What follows is our top (or bottom) least influential Atlantans. Six of the 11 on our list are, in fact, so un-influential, they didn't even get in the print edition of Creative Loafing.
11) Ahmed Salim – can't park in front of his place of worship on his Sabbath
10) Benny Herman Allen III – got a lot less media attention than his white, female alleged co-conspirators
9) Lashay Butler – living on the streets since her family left her
8) Taroko and Yushan – giant whale sharks bottled up for our amusement
7) Bridgette Vassar – a business owner who can't lure customers
6) Troy Bronsink – a minister without a congregation
5) John Fitzgerald Page – can't save his reputation
4) Dawn Williams – leads poorly attended support group meetings
3) Karma Delite – can't find Mr. Right
2) Bobbie Paul – can't stop the Iraq war
1) Chipa Wolf – rain dancer, environmental educator

The fact is, to make this list, you've got to do what chick singers had to do to make the Raylettes, the backup singers for Ray Charles. To be a Raylette, they had to "let Ray." Same with Andy. You know what I'm saying, dogs! And Mr. T,you stay out of it.
