Current idols of any time usually have nothing to do with the real person after which they are modelled. T-shirt industry will sugarcoat any story. Or any such industry which gets its paws on a profitable symbol. Whatever sells. So Che The Revolutionary On T-Shirt has probably very little to do with Ernesto Guevara. Heck, the same story goes for most of the XVII and XIX century composers; their romanticized biographies are just plain fabrication, and a lot of selective memories.

The concept of "misguided souls" is something I would never like to be. Generally, being a soul in need of guidance is... well, not adult. I'd rather have thinking humans who can judge for themselves, and make their own decisions. "Guidance", to me, smacks of leadership, which then smacks of il Duce.

Probably a Serbian thing. We're still recovering from our leadership disease.
