Why he might be annoying:

    Because of his first name, he is sometimes mistakenly described as a Guinness heiress.
    Although married, he dated models Amanda Lear and Suki Poitier.
    He died when he sped at 100 mph through a red light and crashed into a parked truck.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His brother Garech was a founder of the Chieftains.
    His passenger, Suki Poitier, was not injured in the car crash that killed him.
    A newspaper account of his death inspired the first verse of the Beatles song 'A Day in the Life.'
