Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

And yet, I'd bet .....

.... that you have music in your collection by pedophiles like Benjamin Britten and Mikhail Pletnev and Camille Saint-Saens, or maybe by David Bowie, Jimmy Page or other rockers who preferred underage girls.

If you eschew the artistic creations of artists who do not meet moral standards, who are corrupt or disgusting or vile or villainous, you would miss out on huge amounts of human culture.

This is not a defense of their actions, which are reprehensible. It is rather a recognition that art often flows from the tortured soul. We can criticize the person, yet still recognize their artistic contributions.
