It’s become a real thing, having to separate the art from the artist. So many of them end up being assholes, whether it’s child molestation, drugging and/or abusing women or being racist/homophobic. Do you stop listening, watching, buying?
Thanks for reading (and the head's up). I always enjoy your comments. It's an issue I struggle with and I think the waters get muddied when no money is going to the artist (ie: a movie you already own). A coworker of mine refused to let their kid watch Shrek because of what Eddie Murphy said in Raw and Delirious. I remember being really let down by Michael Richards' outburst/meltdown on stage, but still let my kids watch UHF. There were an awful lot of good movies produced by Harvey Weitein. It's a complicated issue for sure and I don't have the answer.

Thought-provoking article, Rob!
