This is a bit of an odd one, but I noticed in the news that Bobby Beausoleil has been denied parole again (18th time). As a Manson follower, torturer and murderer it’s fair enough.
He’s also a musician who’s responsible for some pretty sublime stuff. Which puts the listener in a curious position - how much should the acts of the musician influence the enjoyment of their music (or other art)? I feel slightly uncomfortable putting on his Lucifer Rising score, but should I? Or should I not even own it? I’ve not listened to the mad and funky ‘Salvation Army Band’ LP since finding out Bill Cosby was a rapist.
Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts and other examples of ‘problem music’.
