M was the whole package ,
He was a guru in a Jordan Peterson way, he was counter culture in the way top YouTubers , can only dream of
He was a singer that sang from the soul , probably one of the few black or white singers who sang from the "soul" , since the 60s - in America, lots of black kids listen to his music, not as many as white or Mexican - though the Mexican thing is over done, mainly they think hes a gay and listen to Hip Hop
When on form he could write, in my mind, better the Jewish cannon's Dylan and Cohen.
It could be argued Tarantino probably got his bringing icons from the past back idea from M, shiiiiit even Natural Born killers, is like a film idea kinda based on The last of the famous, meaning , in a way - QT is a great film maker, but he hasn't the depth of M and hes too much the boy trying to be a man, a white man aping ego black culture, to be taken seriously.
M is way beyond that
M was stylish and started trends, like Bowie did and of course he was a supreme entertainer Finally this song has a line so spot on, a million joke writers have probably studied it, Perfect timing- Yes, the Newport Pagnell line
