Chuck Berry has died
Reading this obituary reminds me of Michael Jackson's death.  Someone dies and suddenly all the bad things in their life are expunged.  Berry was a very influential and talented musician but he spent time in prison related to being caught with a 14 year old suspected prostitute.  He spent time in prison for robbery.  He spent time in prison for tax evasion.  He settled a lawsuit for video taping 50+ women including underage girls in the bathroom of his restaurant.  I get it, no one is perfect and a person's death is a time to celebrate their life, but these crimes are part of his legacy.  Not even giving them a passing mention in his obituary sends a horrible message that if you are talented enough you can get away with anything.EDIT: This is currently the top comment, which likely isn't fair either.  These things are a part of the story of his life but they also probably shouldn't be the top line.  My point is simply we should be talking about his entire life and this is a poor obituary for not even mentioning it.  The New York Times has a better obituary available at https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/18/arts/chuck-berry-dead.htm...
