I guess there in lies part of the 'problem' as I see it. It shouldn't matter if you're selling big shows and being actively played on terrestrial radio. I get that that does have some bearing from a marketing standpoint. But it SHOULD matter that you have a legacy. Especially if it wasn't being a serial killer. We let people lie in state, presumably for their accomplishments heretofore. (then later fry them) I'll give the "Cancel Culture" one thing, it doesn't seem to discriminate along party and race lines anymore. If you are somehow deemed an undesirable for perpetrating heinous acts like expressing your opinion, you might just find yourself ostracized in your professional and personal endeavors.I don't understand why people would want their whole world surrounded only by folks they agree with but I sure as hell know a few who are just like that.
Will there be some push back or maybe a bit of consequences from folks "outrage" or whatever? Yeah, but I don't think cancel would be the appropriate term as long as the man is selling big shows and sunshine still plays every other hour on the classic rock stations.
This all started many years ago when we didn't notice the frog's water temperature being elevated. Now, he's boiling, and I'm not sure we put the genie back in the bottle...to shameless use a couple of metaphors!
