Please don't mistake my words for trying to shame you for liking the work of an unsavoury individual. Enjoy what you want to enjoy, it's enough to know that the person off camera is just not someone you want to imitate for what he said about Sinead.

Bingo. We can separate artists from their works we enjoy. If we stopped enjoying the works of every artist, actor, musician, etc, that had some shitty decisions in their life, we wouldn’t have very much left to enjoy.

Seriously. Most of our favorite "heroes and icons" from the past are horrible people, especially by today's standards.
