Arthur C Clarke’s science fiction. A damn fine scientist and science communicator - a thoroughly nasty human being. Love his books, but I don’t want EVER to meet him in real life.

Movies/shows/music where someone involved is a shitty person but their art is great?
I’m watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and I almost don’t want to because Matthew Broderick hit and killed two people and only paid a $150 USD fine.

Hard to watch anything with Kevin Spacey in it (especially because I find it weird his accusers died 👀), but I’ll still watch Se7en because I love Fincher films and that one is in my top 10.
I loathe Taylor Swift. I dislike the lyricism of her songs, they feel so “I’m 14 and this is deep”, she smears her exs in her music while having them sign NDAs, she’s dating a known moron and MAGA supporter, giving up the façade of being a feminist.
And she’s a billionaire. I think billionaires should either be forced to give up their wealth or face execution by stoning.

I don’t loathe Taylor Swift, I just find her lyrics very young teen and/or also mean spirited, they don’t appeal to me at all
on the positive side she’s a good philanthropist and a very good boss

I really don’t know what to think about him. Is he mentally ill or an arsehole? Does he have a grip on reality or has he been surrounded by manipulators and yes men for so long he no longer knows what’s right or wrong?

I don’t know but that album got me listening to hip hop when all I mostly listened to was metal.

John Lennon. Great song writer. Alleged wife beater and adulter.
