Letter to the I: Disappointing Artists Letter

To answer the headline to Serina Sandhu's article "Can I Love Kanye's Music Now I Know What He Thinks?", the answer  is "yes you can".  Listening to music is not necessarily an endorsement of artists, who are by nature imperfect people, like the rest of us.  In fact the artist formerly known as Kanye is tame by other artists whose work I like.  Ted Nugent's guitar work is spectacular, yet his political work is like a cheap and sleazy Third Reich.  Chuck Berry was an amazing artist but personally a sex offender and a spiteful man.  I like to hear Bono sing, but I would pay the considerable fee for a U2 concert to stop him talking.
