Must a musical icon be beyond fault? World changing music, messages of love and tolerance, tempered by personal failings {Hey Jude where's your dad?}. Musical genius and culture changing icon? Certainly. Great man? Can't say. I loved the Beatles ever since I heard them on my transistor radio as a kid. Loved the stuff he put out post Beatles. I wish I had never read about his relationship with his own son. He did not think of himself as a god( the Jesus Christ comments were clearly misconstrued) but he and the Beatles really did change the world. But he was human. He has touched us all and I honor his memory.
