Hell he never could sing, but he never pretended to be anything but a blues man, though he did take a few side trips.
He penned a sang my favorite Anti-war song in his lights "Sky Pilot" but his "we got to get out of this Place" was the song for leaving the Nam.
Of course if you never heard the track New York 1963- America 1968 then you never heard his genius.
As far as Che and his popularity, I blame the Bolivia NCO who wasted the bastard instead of putting him on trial.
Che was a failure in everything he tried except dying and then he hit the jackpot.

i remember his appearance on "bandstand" dick dlark tried to get them to talk, but al they did was jump around amd make animal noises. they all thought this was very deep and profound.
even then i thought it was silly.
(I also liked "sky pilot" - used to have the full version on both sides of a 45)

Ha! Ain't it the truth. The man positively had a death wish. Che got old and became 'inconvenient' for Fidel and that was the end of a beautiful love affair.
Che was a mamma's boy and a wuss,,, just ask the CIA boys
