In this penultimate Season 6 episode, I swim around in a topic I’ve been reluctant to get back to: people who have created amazing and often iconic work, yet whose behavior and/or beliefs make them reprehensible to one degree or another.

I lay out the premise, and then use musicians and others as examples to further discuss. And, unlike in my Michael Jackson episode, this time around I come to some very concrete conclusions.

What’s your take on all this? We’ve all consumed works by heinous people. Which of those do you still appreciate? Which if any have you shunned? Do you think it’s possible to respect a person’s work without respecting them? Discuss dammit!
