Malevolent Creation - Millions

A quarter of a century after his death, it is time to move from stories to historicism, stop listing his various exploits and think about his real impact on his era. Seventy years after his birth, half a century after the release of his first recordings, it makes no sense to count how many people bought his records and how many watched his films, you need to understand how he could become a cultural beacon of his generation, and then a subject of worship for the main figures rock revolution of the sixties; what is the secret that mothers from the American hinterland are still blushing, nostalgic for the past, at the mention of his sensual blues, while his kitsch took its place in the punk pantheon; by what misunderstanding the conservative minority of our democracies claims its legacy today,forgot about his heretical views on relations between communities, and the intellectual elite reproaches him for appropriating the blues traditions, although in reality they were his own; how, finally, he was able to touch the universal strings, although he himself locked himself in utter narcissistic isolation.
