Kudos to the @RollingStone for uncovering a monster that the media has worked to normalize, including his attack on women & morality. The thing about art is that while it may be an expression of beauty, it can also be macabre or promotion of evil by normalizing and ELEVATING it.

The fact that this guy dresses like the devil, writes music that is immoral & acts immoral for decades have normalized the sexualization of women.
Btw, George Orwell wrote a great essay on this topic regarding the monster called SALVADOR DALI.

Why do I say this? Salvador Dali is hailed for his surrealism but if u pay attention to his art and his life, the guy was a monster and his art celebrated and promoted it.
This is George Orwell review of Salvador Dali's autobiography & how he treated women since he was a child.

Dali's paintings were of the perverse & he admitted to those deeds in his real life. By celebrating his art, we do something as well - WE NORMALIZE our treatment of people, especially women. In the same vein, we do this w/ Marilyn Mansion - the guy told us who he was all along.
The guy's art, in George Orwell's words, reading his biography & seeing his art, is:
A DIRECT, UNMISTAKEABLE ASSAULT ON SANITY AND DECENTY; AND EVEN - SINCE SOME OF DALI'S PICTURES WOULD TEND TO POISON THE IMAGINATION LIKE A PORNOGRAPHIC POSTCARD - ON LIFE ITSELF.
So?

So?
And here George Orwell ends with what is wrong with people like Dali and Marilyn Mansion is that they distort a sense of what is good & evil.
They attack life itself. People who like those things ATTACK people who don't like sexual abuse/rotting corps as if we're the savages.

George said, we must not treat artists, musicians, celebrities w/ a double standard b/c they are humans & should not be ABOVE HUMAN DECENCY.
In doing so, as a society, we elevate and REWARD wickedness. Well done @RollingStone 👏🏻
