Hey, as far as I'm concerned Alan Davies did nothing wrong - the homeless sounds like he was being a tosser. Although it does make me want to draw Lecter masks on those Come Duncing ads, where he already has an unusually feral expression.
I've always found Charles Manson's music to be a bit poor, such that I wonder if it would have lasted at all without his personal magnetism (not least in that it was sufficient to con a Beach Boy) and subsequent notoriety. Berry and Spector are good examples of the double standard (I'm not that bothered about Spector killing some no-mark, but he pulled a gun on Leonard Cohen too, and that isn't cool). For me, though, the outstanding one is Joe Meek. Guy killed his long-suffering landlady, yet even eighties Tories were happy to quote his stuff as a favourite!
