Nick Cave has said other... questionable things, such as not liking "wokeness" or whatever, and citing freedom of speech as a reason not to call out others' shitty behaviour. That kind of thing.

Oh no. I haven’t been keeping up with his interviews so I’ve missed all that.

He toes the line on a lot of stuff. Says a lot of libertarian adjacent stuff, imo. But it's easy to miss, for sure.

It’s difficult to keep up with where artists and writers stand on various issues.

That's the thing, eh. But I don't think it's viable to seperate art and artists - that's like the line "Sport and politics don'c mix" rolled out for the Springbok tour.

I'm sure I listen to some shitty artists, I haven't researched all of them.

It’s just not possible to keep up. Today I found out that an author whose book I recommended here is terfish, and Nick Cave is probably a zionist. We can only do our best.

Yes - I agree. If the artist is alive and profiting from their work and possibly using their money to fund shitty things, the art can’t be separated from the artist and enjoyed without complicity.
