I respect that,,kudos to you


I just see the moviemaking and music making process as more than a one man deal,,,so many people are involved in and count on income from that cd or that movie, that I cant quite jump to boycotting the whole product because ONE of the people involved doesnt fit my personal moral code


I was gonna forego seeing Salt for that same reason, dont care for what Angelina did with brad and generally dont care for her roles either,,,but then, my brother is a screenwriter/actor/director, and I Realize that seeing that move is not about supporting angelina but also about supporting the person who wrote the script, the other actors and actresses, the staff,,etc,,,,


Excellent point that I never gave much thought to before now.
I have learned and will practice this new viewpoint from this day forward.

Thank-you msharmony

I am absolutely serious. I have seen your posts and you are wise with a good strong heart. You taught me something new today.
You probably leave more positive impressions than you could ever be aware of.
To quote one of my favorite quotes, which I hope you accept in the spirit in which it is given. It has deeper meaning than the obvious. and I hope you enjoy it.

"To the world you may only be one person but to one person, you may be the world."

There is a very fine line between genious and insanity........smokin


Quoted for truth....


If I like the music I'm going to listen to it. I'm not going to go checking out every artist's personal history..I really don't care about their past or what they do in private, who their boinking, what dress their wearing or anything else...

I recently discovered a music artist. I like their music, but as I looked them up I learned that they are in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

I was going to get rid of all of his songs on my computer, but then I thought about it. Should I get rid of the music, even though I like it, but not so sure about the artist?

I mean, I don't like Michael Jackson because of what he did, but their are other artists that have done things I don't agree with, such as robberies, drug dealing, etc. but, I still listen to their music. What makes them any different?

What do you do in such situations?




Every artist I listen to has been in jail, or prison for some sort of incident. Most violent, doesn't bother me. Dealing with children though, that would push my entertainment morals a bit but I would probably still listen to them.
