And he was deeply flawed in some ways. I think some of his tactics were counter-productive. I think he let arrogance get the better of him. I think there were a lot of things he didn't understand until very close to his death. Also, I find his forays in the UK, where he found the bulk of his career success, highly hypocritical and problematic. But for all of his faults, you can't deny that he was and continues to be a huge inspiration to millions of people.

When I was young, I envied those who seemed to have a destiny or at least figured out what they wanted to do very early in life. Now I see it as a terrible trap--or at least it would have been for me. In a fundamental sense, these people suffer for our benefit.<br />Frank Moraeshttp://www.franklycurious.comnoreply@blogger.com
