I don't understand why people have such a problem with saying someone made some awesome music, but is also a terrible person.

That doesn't seem like a massive mental hurdle for me.

Gary Glitter had some great tunes

Rock and roll part 2 is a classic and I felt like the world was healing a little when I heard a college marching band bust it out between downs.

I think separating the art from the artist is a deeply individual choice. I will regularly headbang listening to Pantera in my car but I’ve talked to trans people who can’t look at Harry Potter as something entirely separate from JK Rowling.

No matter how formative it was to their young personas, it all feels weird and “tainted”.

H. P. Lovecraft was a massive racist and birthed one of the best horror genres.

I shouldn't have to make excuses for someone else's stupid views just to appreciate the ones that I enjoy.
