You like to push buttons don't you Robert...you did not say anything to back that statement up. [8|]

I am very surprised you said that Patrick. There is absolutely no wish to push buttons. I simply cannot abide anything about the man - and am entitled to that opinion - in the same way that you may express your opinion of rap music and musicians.

As you asked, I do not like (in no particular order) his views on drugs, many of his political views, his violence toward women (which he admitted in 1980) and indeed other men (he hospitalised a man in Liverpool in the early 60's), his treatment of his son, and his mocking of disabled people (yeah, very funny [8|]).

So would it be fair to compare him to Kanye West? Well based on the above I couldn't honestly say which one is worse.....

Now I can comment on your statement and you are right in their personal lives. But, musically totally different and that is like a knee jerk reaction to me so I apologize to you Robert.

It is sad to see him go when he was shot and the best heart breaking song he made "Imagine"...

Wasn't this was the time when at war with Vietnam?

Yes the war was still going on, "Imagine" was recorded in May-July 1971 and released that October...it was also co-produced by Phil Spector.
