You can call it what you want, think what you want. In his prime, he wrote some great songs that became anthems. ANd he played those songs like he meant every word. No one came close to out performing the Who. Hendrix would come close, but in the end, he himself admitted that for him it really was just a pose. For Pete it was not posturing, but performance art. I saw him smash an early 70's SG Special. It was a great dramatic moment that was a part of a great R&R show. A guitar is really just wood and wire, an inanimate object. And at that time, a fucking cheapo guitar. And those Norlin Deluxes that he used were shit IMO, and deserved to be smashed.
The pedofile thing.....I don't know enough to comment without looking like I'm chasing Frankenstein down with a torch. I don't think anyone else here does either. But whatever that story is, it doesn't erase the genius of a song like "My Generation" which is still as relevant today, as it was the day it was written 40 plus years ago.
