punkfolkrocker do songwriters' personal lives matter? (94* d) RE: do songwriters' personal lives matter? 07 Dec 18


I can enjoy music / art by depraved human beings,
I can even enjoy music/art/cultural products that are considered by my liberal/lefty contemporaries
to be vile and untouchable....

How...???

I just have this innate ability to switch intellectual and pleasure modes
depending on the material I am currently enjoying.
To engage distinctly separate areas of my critical faculties...

Does that mean I might be a sociopath...!!!???

..or just open minded, at the same time as being keenly aware of the rights and wrongs of contentious material.

Having said that, there are things I will never consider going anywhere near, because they are illegal
and do not interest me, or so inhumane they make me despair of humanity...

20 odd years ago, some building site labourer housemates had a copy of 'Animal Farm' VHS
they'd acquired from their 'blueys*' dealer.
I caught a few seconds of it on the communal TV,
then left them to it laughing their bollocks off with cans of beer...
same for their German scat videos...


[*blue movies - delicate mudcatters.. well might be one or two...???]
