What tune are you listening to at the minute

Aye was a quality gig. Played 33 songs, although they played 39 in Belfast the night before. The new album is definitely a grower. Catfish Kate and On Graveyard Hill are catchy

What a band!

I believe it is in the Joker? It’s a great song. A massive ****,but that shouldn’t overshadow that.

That sort of film isn’t my thing, but lads in work were raving about it. I always think you have to, in these situations at least, disassociate the art from the artist.

I think it is just me being narrow minded, if I’m honest. 

I think that's a genuinely important moral and philosophical dilemma, and one worthy of debate: can one really (and should one) separate the artist from their work? I've always been a fan of the movie Rosemary's Baby, yet since learning of Polanski's past, and despite being cinemaphile, I've never been able to bring myself to watch the classics Chinatown and Repulsion. I like the Who; Daltrey remains one rock's great frontmen. Moon one of the all-time great drummers. But it 's hard to listen to them after the Townshend revelations.

What of Liam Neeson? His admissions of murderous feelings towards black people after a friend was raped are beyond the pale. Ought I to now feel guilty about watching one of his films?

Lewis Carroll and Arthur C. Clarke supposedly had paedophilic tendancies, and they influenced an inordinate number of people - it goes on...
