We just don't know what the artists we like have done without anyone knowing. This alone makes the stand of not listening to music from morally reprehensible individuals untenable imo. Bach seems like he was an ok dude but who knows? Did he go out on the weekend killing for kicks and never got caught? We can boycott an artist who got convicted of rape, but we may unwittingly be listening to someone else who has done worse, and gotten away with it.
