Agreed. "Kind of a dolt" is a good characterization, and I've known that since I stumbled upon his twitter last year. The same is true for most artists and celebrities in my view. They're good at some aspect of their art, and in other respects they're at best normal flawed humans that get an outsized platform, at worst they're blithering morons. Remember the time when Leonardo DiCaprio thought an Alberta chinook was climate change happening before is eyes, or when Paul McCartney went to PEI to protest the Newfoundland seal hunt? They're morons. Inception's a good movie, Band on the run is a great song, not because of the intellectual prowess of the stars. The only thing I'd add is that I think celebrities should stay in their lane and not think we care what they think. And so as a corollary, I can see how some people get upset with them when exposed to their dumb views. Imo that shouldn't influence how their art is received, but I can understand how it does.
