If the answer is yes, shut up, because John Lennon was a huge twat and therefore your opinion is nullified.

Okay, so that was mostly in jest. You're allowed to have an opinion, and so am I. My opinion is that if you avoided all music made by douchebags, perverts, rapists, murderers, twats, greedy twats, assh*les, domestic abusers, scumbags, and total f*cking lunatics...then have fun listening to Dave Grohl for the rest of your life.

Life is short. Enjoy what you enjoy. Just don't deny the fact that they're awful and maybe think about sending them money directly and you can be a decent human being.

Case and point. I love Swans. I buy Swans albums, shirts, and concert tickets. Michael Gira is a deplorable c*nt. I still love Swans because there are other members of the band but I will not support Michael in solo work ever again. Christoph Hahn is too awesome to not support because Gira is a douchebag.

That's how I see it at least.

This is how I see it too. A lot of other people go at lengths to discredit these bands and denounce everything they've ever done at the mere announcement of claims like these, and it's really unfortunate that they be wiped from history like this with more recent allegations (Beach Slang, Cheap Girls, now PWR BTTM) who usually have one member do wrong and then are discredited by former fans.
