I can detest an individual and still admire their art however.
Picasso was despicable as a human, but one of the greatest artists of all time. Mohamed Ali tried to cut a deal with the KKK. Elvis in his mid 20s was bedding a 14 year old girl…..
Gary Glitter on the other hand - his music was shit anyway.
There's a bit of distance with most of the other artists you're admiringly though, they're no longer profiting directly from their despicableness. Admire Clapton's art when he's in the ground.
Good point.
