BBC Radio 2 drops Michael Jackson songs from the airwaves
- onetimemanytime 8y agoInteresting...on one hand it appears that he likely molested children. On the other hand he was very talented. Can we apply the same standard to Edison, Bell, DaVinci, Socrates, Steve Jobs, Einstein etc. Granted molesting kids these days (maybe 2000 years ago wasn't seen as such) is on its own class, but maybe how they treated their wives, slaves, kids etc? Is MJ's music less amazing now...?
- HelloFellowDevs 8y agoThis is really only the start, after the Doc comes out there will definitely be a lot of people wanting to distance themselves. It's hard to separate the art from the artist sometimes.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoAs long as these works aren’t locked away. Feel free to not promote them publicly, but denying access to the works of immoral creatives is akin to burning books. Let the art stand on its own, especially if the creative is no longer alive.
