Why he might be annoying:

    He dropped out of Stanford.
    He was an alcoholic.
    He was married and divorced three times.
    He was far better known for his 'Daddy Dearest' tell-all than his acting or singing.
    His brother Philip denied the allegations that Bing was abusive.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His brothers Lindsay and Dennis supported his claims of abuse.
    Bing reportedly called him 'Bucket Butt,' insisted on weekly weigh-ins and beat with a belt until he bled if he gained weight.
    After he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he said, 'I finally got my shit together. I stopped drinking. I stopped smoking. I stopped fighting the fact that Bing Crosby was my father. And now look what's happened.'
