The Killer Has Died

I figured he'd long been dead,  I wasn't paying attention. It doesn't matter how good of an artist you were if your a horrible human, that's what your judged on.  What the heck was he thinking marrying that young girl and then not taking care of his kids and mistreating his wife's! he needed some corporal punishment till he learned how to act.  No excuse.

Thanks for posting that write up   nonoise 

He and Little Richard were rock & roll.

" I appreciate the incredible talent, inspite of his indiscretions. Does this make me a bad person?"

The reality is: artists are human and humans are flawed (some to a greater degree than others).  

Each listener must make up their own mind.  

Personally, I've never found J.L.L's music particularly appealing, so there's no dilemma, in this case. 

Clapton has espoused views with which I strongly disagree but I haven't stopped listening to Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith or Derek and the Dominos.
