Chuck D.Named An 'Icon', Honored By Magazine

[Lakerfan 4 Life]

Public Enemy frontman Chuck D. will be featured in Swindle Magazine's first ever "Icons" issue, which is dedicated to various people who have had an influence in popular culture.

Swindle has partnered with technology giant Motorola, to produce a series of exclusive sit down dinners in New York and Los Angeles with the various personalities featured in the issue, which honors people like Alan Dershowitz, Tyra Banks, Hulk Hogan, author Judy Blume, Larry Flynt, Bobby Seale and others.

"The common denominator for choosing an "Icon" for the issue was to find those who are singular in their pursuit or their accomplishments," said Swindle's Editor-In-Chief Roger Gastman. "We weren't looking for the most famous or the most successful but those who are without peer. We feel that we have found 50 such individuals and we are honored to have them grace our magazine and we look forward to the unique events which will bring such disparate talents and personalities under one roof."

The invite-only dinners will take place during the month of October.
