After a quick recap of the weekend at the Cotton Candy Festival, hosts Kyle and Robert dive into the complex topic ofseparating the art from the artist, questioning whether art can be appreciated independently of its creator. They discuss how ethics and morality evolve over time (you probably wouldn't want to hang out with Thomas Jefferson in the 21stCentury). The guys emphasize the importance of holding artists accountable for their actions and the harm they may cause. At the same time, they discuss the value of incentivizing sincere apologies and offering a path back to social acceptance for those genuinely working to improve. This is easier for Kyle, as all the books he reads are covered in dust and centuries old. However, Robert is considering what to do about his Spotify playlist and new shows he's watching. Ultimately, everyone will likely draw their own boundaries when consuming art created by flawed individuals, and it's up to you to decide your level of support and forgiveness.
