Lauryn Hill's racist?

I remember the fuss it created years ago - apparently she said on MTV "I would rather have my family starve than have white people buy my albums." There's no evidence of this, and both MTV and Hill have denied it. I think it's just a big rumour to discredit her (although she's had plenty of erratic behaviour).

She did give shit to the Vatican about molestation... [url] http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/148110...html[/url] Applause

Also, as I've alluded to many times, Morrissey is a grade-A twat. But I still like the Smiths.

First name that came to my mind. And although I still do, and always will I suppose, love The Smiths, it does make some later Morrissey tracks ("Bengali In Platforms" Confused

) hard to listen to.

Some of the people highlighted have hardly done terrible things. Some seem to be just dislikeable people or ones not fun to be around.

Still planning on what to do, if anything. They are not getting any more of my time Evil or Very Mad

The first name that came to mind was Morrissey and then the Gallagher brothers after that. But no, after each pompous, self-absorbed comment Morrissey makes or every crude, idiotic thing Liam says I still love The Smiths and Oasis just as much.

However, that said, some of the things John Lennon said and did have really put me off him. His solo stuff is the most sanctimonious, pretentious crap I've ever heard. Not to mention his hypocrisy - he's singing about love and peace when he used to beat his wife and left her with a kid he barely saw while he ran off with Yoko. He was such a twat and what makes it worse is no one mentions it. We all know Morrissey and Liam Gallagher are wankers but Lennon gets away scot free.

I think him being dead is part of it.

How has Ted Nugent not been mentioned? Great guitar player but his statements are absurd. I'm not saying I hate him... but I want to take him and put him in a concentration camp..

It can be hard to take who you think are intelligent musicians seriously once they announce they've "found God".

Especially when they don't divulge his/her location to the rest of us...

"When music artists do terrible things" is an appropriate description of my public music performances
