Does the off stage behaviour of an artist affect your impression of them ?

[gryphon]

For me the jury is still out, Its the music after all that the public sees...............I have managed to chat at length with one or two people who know something about the inside of the music industry and I have read widely........................ The group of people we are looking at is hardly a typical of the human race.........

They spend their lives divorced from reality surrounded by sycophants and often unchallenged........Now they tend to have access to whatever they want and people who can get it .................as a result many of them live lives and do things that most of us find challenging if not repulsive.....................Of course they also have the money to arrange to cover it up and until recently mostly they got away with it..................

Now there are one or two who get through it without many incidents but they are rare.

It's an odd life being a famous musician and not surprisingly odd things happen but they also thing that odd things are ok.

Still we still have people like Cliff Richard, pure untouched ..................or is he ? Read carefully the books about him and his early life look at his professional real;tionship with the members of the Shadows and lokk for his pecadilos.................

I think if we knew the real thruth there would not be that many aratist to buy left !
