On today's episode of the Blue Island Radio Podcast Brandon & AP Lindsay are joined by guests Fred Morg and Jessica Zee for a discussion about how we either continue to be fans of musicians whose behaviors are not just offensive but in some cases criminal, or we get rid of their records and stop listening. What's more important, the art or the artist? At least, that's what I think this episode is about. You'll just have to listen.  And thank you to all the people who responded to my online questionnaire about the subject. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Find us here: Tik Tok @birp60406 Instagram: @birp60406
