Thread Name: BS: Does the musician's character matter?
Subject: RE: BS: Does the musician's character matter?
To be somewhat over the top, what if hitler had written some beautiful songs? Would we be comfortable singing one - or perhaps performing it- and saying, "Even though hitler wrote it, it's simply one of my favorite songs"? Hard to believe. Or- since he was a painter of sorts- if he had painted gorgeous pictures that 'spoke' to us, would we hang them in our living room? I doubt it- personally, I would feel I might be inviting some dark being to take up abode...

So what am I saying? I dunno.
