As a musician his early music was magnificent, genuinely electrifying.
As a person, he was... at best, a mess, and at worst well, we're not going to go there. Comparisons with Charles "Lewis Carrol" Dodgson might apply, or might not, but added in the media frenzy he generated that fed off his fame, for good and ill.
However, he was not someone I ever knew personally, nor felt I knew personally.
I mourn the loss of a talented musician, but I can't particularly mourn a man I didn't know.
