I won't deny that he was a really difficult person to get on with! Surely there's some case, though, for him being a great musician? I know he could be a real dick at times, but at the end of the day when we are talking about how musically talented he was, his personal life isn't relevant?
I'm not trying to defend the man, I just think that there must be some things about him that make his comparison with John Paul Jones an interesting one, perhaps especially the fact that John Paul Jones was quite a mild mannered person.
