The American people today are unable to separate an artist’s work from who they are as a person. In the 70’s, Donna Summer rose to fame largely because of a gay fan base who embraced her music. Then she was “Born Again” and turned her back on and condemned the very people who made her famous. Yet, her work was still respected even by gays. Michael Jackson had numerous sex abuse allegations many substantiated. Yet his work as an artist remained respected. Recently, James Levine whose work with the Met Opera was world renowned over 40+ years was charged with sex abuse allegations, and the Met Opera is doing everything possible to erase any reference to to any connection of James Levine and the Met Opera. Roman Polanski won Best Director for The Pianist in 2003, but people are currently erasing any reference to his work in the movie industry. People need to separate the work that an artist does from their personal life and personal and political views. By America’s PC attitude today, All In The Family would have been cancelled after the first episode aired if it even got that far, and The Broadway Musical “The Producers “ would have closed after the first preview (if it got that far) and Don Rickles would never have been a successful comedian because of the numerous people who were “offended” by being the “victims” of his comedy. If Mozart were alive and living in the US today he’d be boycotted.
