Its ok to still like the music and admit that someone behaved a twat or worse, separate the art from the artist, but making excuses to justify shit behaviour is just .....unsurprising, it's been done since Richey was acting the creep why would it stop now.

This though. I can’t believe people are shrugging at the frontman of the great political band not even bothering to vote. And the member who’s so proud of his politics degree throwing in some more excuses for that self-indulgent apathy. Looking back now… we slippery-sloped here, huh? There were signs for a long time. I just didn’t or wouldn’t see them for what they were. I still haven’t really accepted it. This band was my LIFE.
How do you separate art and artist when at this point, the art is mostly about the artists and their increasingly vapid views? They don’t seem to stand for anything but themselves anymore. Unless we mean past art, of course
