To the death of Max Hardcore

[ronsurf]

I think there is a difference, @ronsurf. Phil Spector wrote songs that were sung by people he mistreated. But the songs sit quite separately from how he behaved. They are not about his maltreatment. Mr Hardcore actually filmed some of his abuse. And that's a very different matter.

Was it art…*hmmm.

I wasn't intending to compare the two, it was more a general question about whether you should separate the artist (or should that be creator, these days?) from the art.

While I accept your point, it's worth remembering that those records were also recordings of his abuse. Some of those girls were utterly exhausted and too tired to sing, which while it gave them the sound they have, it wouldn't happen today.

I bet there aren't many posts comparing Phil Spector and Max Hardcore!
