    I don’t separate the art from the artist. John was a garbage human being and I don’t think he was that good. In my opinion he made mediocre music that happened to take the industry by storm during a major turning point.

      I respect this opinion. I don’t really like the “separating” either, but I think there is something dialectical between the art and artist especially when multiple people are involved

        I try to take that into account depending on the situation. However, there are times we’re the other people in the band enable and ignore the shitty behavior in which case all bets are off usually.
