Reminds me of the wonderful (albeit extremely irreverent) sketch about the Handy Bendy Ghandi doll, from the early 80s series Three of a Kind (spoken, I think, by a very young-sounding Lenny Henry). It was absolutely the funniest thing in the world when I was 12. Nowadays you could 3D-print your own...
A lot of people disliked him for lots of reasons over the years.
I can think of a few.
1. Living on his reputation as a Beatle and dishing out second rate songs when he should have gone into silent retirement. The list of the offending works is too long to mention.
2. Being a man of the People and wanting to charge Liverpool an insane amount of money to play at one of their City of Culture gigs and then saying that he was proud to play for the city (which is an euphamism for a fat cheque).
3. Closing down all concession stalls at stadiums which had a right to be there on the ground they sold hamburgers and the like without offering compensation. Imposing his Veggie Fascist ideals onto others gets a downvote from me all the time. By all means be veggie but don't close down omnivoric outlets.
4. For just being generally crap and tiresome of late.
He was good as a Beatle but that was millions of years ago in another geological age. Now he's not.
Cue downvotes from mop-topped thumbs up gesticulants
Never mind writing any number of top Beatles tunes; never mind Wings ("the band the Beatles could have been" - Alan Partridge) the man wrote and played the bass on Rain by T'Beatles. A little respect.
As for coasting by on past glories? Even if true this is hardly uncommon. As much as I love their music *cough* Stone Roses *cough*. etc.
