No, I am not suggesting that. I am suggesting that we gather our morals and norms from such things as media, books, music and art.

Sonic Youth have added pushed the envelope of what is possible to be printed, listened to or heard.

If something has been mentioned in the arts, the general public will catch on later on.

Ahem, so do I take it you're comparing people hounded for their left-leaning beliefs to people who take sexual pleasure in children being raped, abused and humiliated...

I am comparing the fear and the witch-hunt mentality as being similar....

I would still listen to records I already owned, but I would never spend another dime on the band. I don't believe it's right to give financial support to such people. I see this as no different than boycotting companies that employ child laborers, abuse the environment, etc.

Hopefully everyone hear can consider that the media are vicious and hungry for a 'Superstar trial' where blood is spilled.

Like Michael Jackson's trial for instance...

Yes. Music is something you either like or you don't. It doesn't mean you in any way subscribe to any other aspects of the performers' personalities. Glitter's music should still be made available.

Wasn't Johnny Ramone alleged to have been a racist?

I'd let Lee get away with anything, but Thurston? Never.

Nah, I don't think I'd let a conviction for something disgusting influence my listenings to artists I like.

On the other hand, if I didn't like the artists anyway then I'd surely use it as an extra reason to dislike and talk bad about them, because I'm a hypocrite like that.

Roman Polanski is still a great director and his sexual proclivities have no bearing on my appreciation for his talents.

He could fuck animals and I woudn't care.

Pretty harsh to even 'setup' a scenario as this though...highly inflammatory, even in jest or hypothetically.


BTW, of course I'd still listen to Sonic Youth without hesitation.

It is not that hard. I find most people who make music despicable human beings and that still doesn't stop me from appreciating their records.
