I assume he's talking about Phil Spector, who produced and basically did everything with that record other than sing it.
As you probably know, I find it hard to separate art from artist in that way. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily turn off a Gary Glitter song
if my legs and arms were amputated, but I do draw the line at Lostprophets, whose vocalist Ian Watkins was guilty of child abuse in the worst possible way, and the reasoning I give for never listening to their music again (other than that it wasn't really all that great in the first place) is that every time I hear that **** sing I want to punch his face in, so I could no longer enjoy the music.
But yeah, I'm sure most artists have skellys in the clos, and as they're dragged out I'd (if their music mattered to me) take it on a case by case basis. I don't necessarily have a problem with Burz, for instance. It can't be a blanket thing, but you do have to I think draw your own line over which you won't step, or will step back from.
Edit: I couldn't even make it through half of that crap. What an awful song.
