I wasn't even aware of all that, and yeah I just looked it up (DAMN). I wouldn't know how I'd feel about listening to the music of someone like Gary Glitter or that guy from Lostprophets since I never have listened and don't feel any desire to for purely musical reasons, but I'd still say separate the art from the artist. And I suppose on a more amoral stance I'd say that I'd actually be more interested in his music. If his music is dark then I'd be fascinated on a psychological level to hear the music that would come from the head of such an individual, just the same as I'm interested in the psychological level of the music from a psychopath like Varg Vikernes as it's so isolated, bleak, and misanthropic. Art isn't supposed to be comfortable, it's just supposed to be worthwhile to experience.
