I agree.

He doesn't fit today's P.C. world, was a unique individual who lived at a time when his skill set was better appreciated. Some today who claim to not be P.C., are more P.C. than they realize or admit. This thread is evidence of that.

His soul is another matter, way above my pay grade to judge.

He was a renouned story teller and provocateur. Being controversial sold copy and put food on his table. He for sure could stir folks up and here we are, still talking about him long after he's departed the scene.

So, as a story teller/provocateur, he was immensely successful.
