Mentioning Funkadelic and the Coltrane Quartet is now political apparently. The whole thread is useless without INXS anyway.

The music still means a lot to me, so I can separate the art from the artist. I just absolutely refuse to support him now. Of course, that’s easy when you hear the sheer awfulness of the music he releases now. I still love Michael Jackson’s music, watch Roman Polanski films and enjoy T.S. Eliot too. There aren’t enough hours in the day to figure out which artists aren’t problematic. I think D. H. Lawrence got it right: never trust the teller, trust the tale. Great art is made by deeply flawed humans.

Somerset Scholar is an absolute fucking dickhead. And he is an insufferable idiot.

No. It will be submitted as research. Thanks anyhow for your time spent considering.

Research into what?
Somerset Scholar said:
The critical consensus can move and change over time but generally a canonised body of work is accepted as being of great artistic value. It can save time and prove effective in artistic development/appreciation. For example, I am glad that I was able to read many novels that are recognised classics as opposed to blindly reading any book. Of course, this survey is limited to SH members, but that is a demographic with a strong interest in matters musical and that is why I submitted the survey.

'https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/what-are-the-greatest-bands-of-all-time.858413/page-4 Yeah, I was absolutely horrified when I saw that Somerset Scholar post, and his dismissal of Parliament-Funkadelic just showed an incredible amount of ignorance. Unfortunately, I was permanently banned while on a 24 hour cool off so I couldn't respond to this idiocy.

What do with Morrissey's music? - separating the art from the artistMorrissey is Morrissey. He has the same views now which I also support. If you cannot separate art from the artist, you have a problem, though.
"Who" (2019) - New Who Album Coming 06-Dec-19*Is Roger supposed to be further right politically than Pete? I've been a fan forever but never really knew what Roger's politics were. I know Pete is all over the place poltically. Roger is with the majority in the UK. A normal common sense guy who likes fair play and isn't afraid to call out anti-democracy.

Every time someone posts some absurd shit like this here, I go there to realize I'm already ignoring the waste of skin.
