Thread Name: do songwriters' personal lives matter?
Subject: RE: do songwriters' personal lives matter?
even where the writer is known, and comparatively blameless ... what about their proofreader, their publisher, the singer/s that made the song famous, the DJs that played the song ...
I once read an interview with Gyorgy Lukacs where he said "an artist is responsible for the use of their work till the end of time".
Interviewer gulped a bit and asked Lukacs for an example of somebody who passed his test.
Lukacs said "there is not a bar of Mozart that can be misused".
