Yes, I'm very "death of the artist". But to me, that mostly means that the artist doesn't get any more say in what a finished piece of art means than anybody else.
If I like a piece of art, but not the artist that made it, that's not a contradiction to me. Bad people can still make great art. Take Ace of Base: I'm never going to give them money, but I still listen to "Cruel Summer". This is a song that is definitely not promoting White Supremacy.
Hol' up. What's up with Ace of Base?
The songwriter was a neonazi.
Wasn't aware of the accusation. I read some articles, and I'm skeptical. I guess it doesn't bother me either way, I never bought any album from them, and I won't start now.
