One of my favorite songs have always been Lostprophet's Last Train Home (it was used in NFL Street and I played the fuck out of that game at one point):

https://youtu.be/IfaN-WvMh2s

Then, a few years ago, the lead singer of the band got into some major trouble for some very serious things he did (and that's still probably an understatement) >_>
With that said, I still listen to the song semi-regularly.

What are things you enjoy from shitty people?

If it had been someone from the band other than the vocalist, I might still be able to listen to them, but since it is, I haven't listened to anything of theirs since that news broke. I just can't.

I can't look at "I Believe I Can Fly" the same way again. I'm fine with Michael Jackson songs though.

a few Westerns... not surprising.

edit: for some reason I was thinking "entertainment" period.

I used to like Guns N Roses but I don't care for Axel or his enablers.

idk what he's guilty of or not, but none of his songs I like deal with anything that could be taken in a creepy context, unlike "I Believe I Can Fly"

Lostphophets is too much for me. I can't enjoy their work anymore.

Louis CK I still enjoy. Though some bits kinda bother me.

And I certainly will never support shit like Ruroni Kenshin. The dude is out of prison because Japan doesn't adequately punish people that have homemade child porn, and he still profits off the work.

All art and literature is at least somewhat reflective of the artist, so imo it's impossible to completely separate the two. That being said, something can still look, sound, taste, or feel good even if the person who created it was not.

It's not an easy question to answer and I don't think there'll be a blanket settlement on the issue.

Im sure a lot of shitty people made a lot of things. Not just art.

I couldnt care less.
