Phil Spector produced some of the best music of the twentieth century, including one of a handful of bearable Christmas albums in existence. Also he's a fucking murderer. So... bit of a mixed bag, there.
I really enjoyed Lost Prophets music, but after what happened, I feel really weird about listening to it. I like it but I don't feel like I should.
I wouldn't recommend looking up what the singer did
I have learned a lesson today. From now on when someone says, "I wouldn't recommended looking into this," I think I'll just leave it alone.

Naomi Wu a.k.a. SexyCyborg on youtube.
Unforgotten.
Got taken out (and we can only imagine how, but surely in a most effective way) of public life because she had the bad luck of living in China.

If you feel like you can only like things made by people who haven't done anything wrong, ever, you're left with Mr Rogers and that's about it. Liking something someone made isn't an endorsement of their actions or opinions. Unfortunately we live in a hyper capitalistic society so buying their stuff can help them with their shitty opinions, so don't buy new Harry Potter stuff, but feel free to enjoy it.
Kurt Vonnegut and George Carlin were both amazing people that didn't get exposed as monsters. They weren't saints, like Mister Rogers, but they also did not have the advantage of being related to Captain America like Fred was.

I always had a weird feeling about MSI mindless self indulgence. Now all doubt is removed....
