"Jimmy Page - satanist (allegedly), enthusiastic practitioner of S&M (demonstrably)..."

I don't see how a fondness for Satan and S&M makes you a villain...   

Well, he's never met a song he couldn't rip-off... Albeit to great effect.

I left all the actionable bits out.  Let's just say... word is he had a preference for succulent young meat. Allegedly.

Here we go again. Mike is only rock's #1 villain to the cult of Brian Wilson.

This I don’t agree with. Whether Mike can justifiably be called a villain or not, I’ve run into many fans, more of the 60’s/70’s generation to be sure, who don’t know much about the BB’s and are nowhere near a Brian fanatic (or BB fanatic) who have come away with the impression that Mike Love is a villain/d**k, etc., and have done so by seeing his stage persona, interviews, etc.

My take is that FAR more of these "fans" have simply read something in a magazine or on the internet, and just jumped on the bandwagon. I bet 99% of them wouldn't recognize Mike if he sat down right next to them.
