I've read his journals and tons of bios too.
Anyway.. the book was "Heavier than Heaven". I'm not saying that's the reason to hate the guy, but I was simply pointing out how much of a fucking weirdo he was. And regardless of how clever some of his lyrics or ideas were, he wasted them all on drugs. Obvious, but true. Anyway, go ahead and read that book -- it's a pretty unbiased look at the band and the guy and it doesn't really take sides. But seriously, the dude's scum. Regardless of his songwriting ability or his "clever" interview skills or whatever. It's obvious to me that he was a businessman who was well-aware of his public image, and he wasn't blatantly moronic like some other like-minded people (that dude from the Vines, for example, is an obvious fucking retard) -- but when it comes down to it, drugs and .. whatever else .. fried his brain to the point of no return. You can defend people sitting around for days, in a daze, with a needle stuck in their arm as being geniuses, but I'm not sure.
