I'm still salty about Brand New because their music means/meant so much to me. And we were just vacationing in Lovecraft country, and I have been making a steady effort to separate his work from our family life. There's a lot of soul searching involved in separating the art and artist -- how much should we allow? What lines should absolutely not be crossed? All humans are flawed and are a result of their time/environment, but that shouldn't be used to excuse horrible behavior.
And what does the other side look like? If a person puts in the work to be rehabilitated and we require marketable skills to exist in our world, how do they ethically create art after doing something reprehensible?
