Why? He was easily the best of the Romantic poets - despite the snobbish sneering of his more socially elevated contemporaries like Byron (a doggerel-peddling prick) and Shelley (good in parts).
The 'Cockney Poet' was their superior by miles. And they knew it. Arseholes.
He was a dull wánker. Fúck him and all his shít poems.
No. He dresses acceptably and - unlike AW - can knot a tie.
But there's just something unwholesome about his overall appearance. It could be all the hair dye.
I did notice he was desperate to protect his hair the other night. :sherlock:

I can see why snowflakes, the emasculated and (ex)public schoolboys might like it, but not for me, Clive.
These blokes were the rock stars of their day, IUFG. Sex, drugs and, erm, poems. Just that they hadn't invented the electric guitar then.

If by 'Rock Stars' you mean 'The Nolans', I take your point.

Not at all. See the life and times of Robert Burns, for example.
