Why would I call him an "ass"? Furthermore, why would I call him an "ass" if he -didn't- do somethin' I haven't done? Easily put, I wouldn't, and I didn't. When I spoke about his contributions, the first time, to be honest, I didn't even think about charitable donations, however, you helped me bring up a good point in pointin' those out. The fact that they don't fuckin' matter, not one bit, to a persons' perspective. When I spoke of contributions I was of the mind-set people were to carin' over somethin' that doesn't mean anything, that bein' his musical accomplishments. If I'm guilty of anything, it's not properly pickin' apart everything as thoroughly as I should have and normally do , nothin' else. In the end, you got both your answers so it doesn't matter.
I'm not sure why my opinion of the guy is so important to you. You can't change the fact that not everyone believes in God and likewise you can't change the fact that some of us care more about his person than his music and musical accomplishments. You can buck up and fukin' deal with it though, or are your feelings so fickle you need even more justification for -yourself- he was a "legendary" person -off- stage? Some like him, some don't, that's life and believe it or not it's the same for yourself and of course me and everyone else in the whole wide world.
