Thread Name: BS: Does the musician's character matter?
Subject: RE: BS: Does the musician's character matter?
Yes. What you guys said. One difference though, is that drug dependency can be induced and aggravated by the professional entertainer lifestyle. Pedopholia is NOT!

Wagner WAS dead for a long time before Hitler appropriated his music. Makes a difference.

Aida is in the same category as Lolita, but it is still great art.........

I can understand and even condone drug usage, but NEVER pedophelia. After all, just how many MudCatters are drug dependent for their lives? Heart medicine, anti depressants, etc? I'll bet close to 80% or more........Shall we restrict this to mood altering drugs? That includes anti depressants. Shall we restrict this to addictive drugs? That includes most arthritic painkillers..........seems the bane of creative people to be depressed.............waiting for the slam dunk, here.
