As for genius or madman, I say both, there's a tiny line between true genius and madness, idea's that are genius often seem so far fetched it could only be madness but they are in fact pure genius.
The facts have always shown that the true genius's also had extremely erratic behaviour in their thinking and actions.
Fair play, Mac - the guy also doubled as this madcap creative genius:
ABOVE: The one and only, late, great... Frank Sidebottom, filmed a few years later in his hometown of Timperley near Manchester. (I think it was the ZX81 programming which finally led to him acquiring a papier mache head...)
