Chris Brown, and so forth. By Anthony.

Chris Brown, for those of you who aren't in touch with the real world (like me, I only heard about him a few nights ago on late night radio while getting a drink) Chris Brown is the ex-bf of Riahna (or however you spell it). They broke up after he beat her. As is, whaled on her with his fists.

Quite rightly, the world went : "Fuck you, Chrissie m'boy."
And raido stopped playing his music, and for a while, he was in complete disregard, and got through the courtcase and out the other side alive, without being savaged by fans.

Then, a while later, he released a new single. Contrary to popular hopes, it was NOT a wishy washy apology song. He had profusely apologized, both on T.V, in public and over the phone to her. He felt the need to keep the apology out of his music. I, for one, applaud him for that, seeing as the world has enough wishy washy R&B put there.

The second song he released, quite recently, does seem to be the apology song. And hey, it;s going down well, and the question is: Should we start buying his songs, and playing them on the radio, and all that, or just continiue to musically exclude the poor bastard?

In my view, music and musician are two things that can be taken seperatley. Most people don't believe this.
But even then, he's done something he'll regret for almost the rest of his life (Until he gets Alzheimer's). He's apologized profusely, and christ. It's not like people have to go and HUG him, they just have to let him go and make his living. He fucked up, but that should not kill his career. His social and dating life, maybe. But the dude needs to make some money somehow. And since he's not about to go and do any REAL work, let him continiue making music.

Besides, we forgave all the other celebreties who dangled their kids of bannisters, mistreated them and drunk drove, took drugs and had questionable sexual acts pinned to their name. Why should this be any different?

On a side note, I think he's a dick, and his music is terrible for the most part.
