i hate this guy - not talented, pretentious, a wife beater and now finally ugly….

I know I'm in the minority but I had a hard time with this show - it made me feel really uncomfortable. not a comment on its quality - i just couldn't watch it

I always got the impression - at least when he was alive that he wasn't viewed super cool as the other two

Couldn't agree more. The Beats are interesting - even great icons I don't feel their work is always great. In fact On the Road is a little boring, Naked Lunch i don't care for at all. I really only like Howl and Kaddish (and Ginsberg is generally looked at as the least "cool" beat). Other American writers have a lot…

I think Nico is the more "important" album but I like Loaded better.

find it funny he likes Brian Wilson's music better than his dad's

explain

what's he supposed to do? never act again? stop living?

I understand your anger but that's just too easy and people are not defined by one or two things.

I disagree with the Sinatra criticism. He can come off aggressive and abrasive when interviewed but not at all when he sings.

To be fair in the 30's and in the road movies Bob Hope was pretty funny

I just don't like his movies or the newer ones I guess. They are shot beautifully (duh) but man they are boooooring. I really think he is vastly overrated - he should have remained a mystery. Makes you wonder what will happen if Salinger's estate starts releasing books

That's what I thought too - age

totally agree. keith is an ass to him all the time much like lennon to mccartney. and as with them i think paul is better than john - if you are going to make me pick between geniuses.

love ted danson and LOVE Sam Malone

Brian Wilson is surprising in so many ways and never in the ways you'd expect. He's not cool, he's a bad interview but he's a genius and his work is way more interesting and innovative than most people realize.

I have to disagree. Ram, Band on the run at least are better
