So what's your point? Tell us why we should revere the man other than the fact that the current upper-middle aged generation found him intriguing. The best you've attempted so far is that he cheated on his wife. Been there. Done that.
A truly pathetic comment.
Don't we revere all those who intrigue us? Who relieve us of the tedium of everyday life and boring associates? If that were his sole quality - and it certainly isn't - he would be long remembered and appreciated.
Arguing with you is casting pearls before swine.
