In reply to thewho:
He said what he thought, but his world view included all of humanity pretty much, in how he didn't seem to dislike much other than religion and war and 'fat bastard businessmen'. He found it strange that certain words could cause such offence, but it doesn't seem like he was much of a bigot. He ended up telling his fans to buy the albums separately than to pay through the nose in buying a 'complete Motorhead' for a lot more money.
Not that I'm going to idolise the bloke now he's gone.
Edit number 2. I'm glad he only knew he was ill for two days before he died. He didn't seem to see life holding much for him beyond touring and playing, whenever he was asked what he'd do if he couldn't do it anymore he always seemed to say he'd do it for as long as he could.
That's probably the kind of end a lot of us would like for ourselves.
