I had a conversation with someone close to me about "separating art from the artist"…

He had an interesting perspective.

He was saying that even if he had been convinced that Michael Jackson was guilty of wrongdoing, enjoying his music after his death would not be the same as listening while he was still alive—none of the money spent now would be contributing to his personal comfort.

"So you don’t have to boycott Wagner, "he continued, "even though he was said to be a miserable human being. Nothing you spend to see or listen to his music performed is going into his pockets now."

I saw an interesting photo of reddit of a rather shell shocked child, half naked sitting on Michael's lap in his bedroom.

No the man was a fucking creep and while I enjoyed his music, it will always be tainted by the monster he was.
