Promoting a Child Rapist Music? I am ashamed
While I was writing this post, I received an email from one of my friend who closely reads my blog. The email hurt me a lot and put myself in a moral dilemma. For I never knew that Oliver Shanti had developed a bad reputation for himself by involving in massive crimes, sexually exploiting children (over thousand, it is said) until my friend said those in his email. The mail shocked me to the core and made me think a lot about why I should write a music post on such a person? Should I just look at his music and shouldn’t bother about his personal life (public crimes) when I write a music review?
I like this music of Oliver Shanti but I dont know if I will listen it anymore after reading some horrible facts about Oliver Shanti.
It has been long time
It has been long time since I last listened to Oliver Shanthi and the day will never come when I will listen to his music again. Though some may argue that a piece of art should be judged by it's own value alone and not shadowed by the artist who created it, I am not in favor of this philosophy. I believe each work has a vibration of the creator and the vibrations of Oliver are not welcome in my living room.
Thanks Anon (how else can I call you?) for sharing your thoughts.
