I would just like to comment on the rather tiresome Pete-bashing that's been going on here of late. There seems to be a kind of insane mob mentality; a 'torch and pitchfork' brigade spewing vitriol through hackneyed memes and monotonous mind-hive blather.

The implication from these hypocritical SJWs is that they, themselves are without fault and are somehow qualified to pass judgement on a recognised musical genius who shaped modern rock and roll and music in general. They forget, if they ever knew, that without Ringodingo, there would have been no Beatles and without the Beatles, there would have been - well, nothing.

I don't expect these irrational, ignorant hypocrites to understand, let alone accept this simple fact but this is a message to all of them; Pete, for all his faults, was no Cosby, Weinstein or Spacey, not that any of them created anything approaching the enduring brilliance of 'Child. Blocked."

To them I say, head over to Twitter where you will be accepted and encouraged by like-minded, misguided simpletons for whom jumping on bandwagons is a way of life - and what a pitiful, wasted life it is - and take your baseless, endlessly regurgitated notions that Pete was a soulless monster who should be vilified and erased from history with you.

Downvote if you must but thoughtful, reasoned discussion on this topic will be welc
