Re: Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier musi
Oh yes, and I agree with your latest post. Everything changes, nothing is fixed. I think an issue I have in a lot of debates is that people are often trying to prove what they see as 'the truth' or 'reality'. I firmly believe there is no such thing.
My god, how off topic is this!
By the way when I wrote "Along with Worm, one of the best posters on this thread." I meant ofcourse, one of the best posters on this SITE.There are artists who give us first-hand testimony, who can be judged by their words and actions. The interwebs allow us to reach a level of public hysteria, however, not seen before: snap judgements, unjustified inference and mob mentality abound. Celebrity is a deal with the devil: you get attention and (if you're lucky) a bit of cash, but the media gets to publicly vivisect you and create a sensational narrative. It's not at all pretty.
Most of us are constantly shifting anyway; the people we think we know best can often surprise us.
