Mental anxiety, Mental breakdowns, Menstrual cramps, Menopause... Did you ever notice how all our problems begin with Men?
IMHO no; because I tend to separate person from art. A lot of people would have still carried on liking Michael Jackson's music, even if he had been convicted back in 2005. I'm not really a Gary Glitter music fan, but I'm not about to program the CD player in work to skip "Another Rock N Roll Christmas" on my Xmas compilation album* either. People still read Jeffrey Archer books, some people still watch Roman Polanski films etc. At his peak, Gary Glitter's music brought pleasure to millions. The tragedy is all of that has been, rightly or wrongly, but definately brutally cast aside in favour of focussing on his intense weaknesses and peversions. Music, and any creative art in general, may seem insignificant to the loss of childhood innocence or the most disgusting of crimes, but it is still a part of the picture and cannot be ignored, discredited or wiped from history. Because then, we are living in 1984 territory.bee bee see wrote:Is it a bad thing that even though I detest Gary Glitter, I still like some of his music?
* Incidentally, the latest version of the particular album I have got doesn't have this track.
