Actually I agree. I don't dislike Donovan and he certainly does not dserve all this shit. He was certainly not the right person to be awarded this accolade, but that is not really his fault. His appearance, speech and performance was quite toe curling, but again, he probably believes in all his own hype - who dosent?

This 'teaching the beatles to fingerpick' is actually attributable to Paul McCartny, and appears to be true.
