Hi Mike!

One of my favorite songs of all time was written by George Harrison....

"Here Comes the Sun".... It's a Beatles song, but George Harrison is the one who wrote it and sang the vocals....

I agree with you completely, Mike! The bottom line is, you don't have to make money by exploiting the misery of others (in this case, the misery of a former-Beatle).... They are people too. They have families who care for them, who would probably be quite distressed to read such a paragraph (and angry too, I'd think).

Selling should be the opposite, of course.... You should be benefiting people instead by helping to bring good solutions into their lives, solutions for their various problems.

Of course, in the public's eye a person who brings you a solution to a problem is not usually considered a "sales-person" so I think the best salespeople are often not thought of as a salespeople! Unfortunately, what the average member of the public will remember is passages like the one you quoted (since they create strong emotions)....

I think it's also about respect. The paragraph you quoted is disrespectful of someone who I personally think of as a pretty decent guy, who's "made it" from a poor working class-type background in Liverpool to the great music legend he is today.... We should be thinking of him as an inspiration, and not dancing on his (or anyone's) grave....
