Uh, living in St. Louis, there has been continual talk about artists such as Chuck Berry, Ike Turner, and others.
My basic tenet on the works of an artist/performer: IT IS WRITTEN NOWHERE A GREAT ARTIST IS ALWAYS A NICE PERSON.
At the service for Chuck Berry, I had to see 3 college aged women holding up signs mentioning Berry's transgressions(let's not even get into how black artists in the 1950s-60s were subjected to stark racism at the hands of cops & courts---don't get me started)...my favorite inane-ig'nant comment poster said the following:
'MAKE THE ARTS SAFE AGAIN'
![]()
Given my better half hates it when I publicly confront such idiocy, I only thought the following, instead of saying it:
'Hey, I bet you ladies LOVE Bob Marley...you know, 'Redemption Song', 'Get Up Stand Up'....WELL YOU SHOULD NEVER LISTEN TO HIM AGAIN. After all, Bob Marley beat his wife like the family mule when he caught her forging his name to a check , and did so badly enough it put his wife Rita in bed for several days....HEY, you look like someone who enjoys James Taylor----BETTER NEVER LISTEN TO HIM, Taylor was an abusive adulterous junkie P.O.S. , who made his wife Carly Simon experience hell on earth...thought you'd like to know!'
So it goes...performers are human, not objects of perfection.
