Subject: RE: Artists' personal lives-public latitude
Unfortunately there are too many 'holier than thou' types around who pontificate about the behaviour of others, but have their own skeletons in the closet.

Clearly I cannot name names, but how often do we find, for example, people in charge of upholding the law of the land who use that privilege to further their own ends (in more ways than one!)?

Whilst I don't condone Paul Gadd's behaviour, the music produced by his alter-ego Gary Glitter isn't any different now than it was when he first recorded it... it's just our perception of the individual that has changed.

For some people, that perception cannot be separated from the man and his music, but others are more liberally minded.

Adolf Hitler... wasn't he responsible for making Porsche Senior's dream a reality... the ubiquitous VW Beetle? Think about it!
