To be fair, Redjack, Roman Polanski got a standing ovation when he won an Oscar a few years back, and Gary Glitter's songs are still played at stadiums everywhere. Elvis is still hailed as a genius; so is Jerry Lee Lewis. But I hold my people to higher standards. I could see it if R. Kelly's problems were ignored, a la Marvin Gaye. But this dude is practically CELEBRATED for being a pedophile - and seeing that he's not it to hold Marvin's socks, I don't see why. I mean, the man is terrible. TERRIBLE. What am I missing!?
(Weird thing about Marvin: more people had a problem with the fact that his woman was mixed, not that she was in high school. Check out old issues of Ebony and Jet and he's just parading her around like she's not 17 and he's not married. Strange.)
