Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.

I’m was a casual RHCP fan until that book came out, I own a couple albums.
Haven’t been able to listen to them since. It’s just lost its appeal when it’s now associated with that attitude in my brain.
I don’t get how people can ‘seperate the art from the artist’. I get that it’s potentially a valid attitude, but my brain just doesn’t work that way. Same with Jackson after Leaving Neverland.
IMHO “separate the art from the artist” only applies to criticism of art. Not to consuming the works especially in today’s world where artists get paid by the stream. Like saying you like the song “I believe I can fly” is separating the art from the artist. But if you listen to that song on Spotify you straight up give R Kelly and his beneficiaries, who have condoned his behavior for years, money. So at that point the artist isn’t separated anymore.
