Yeah my brain is unable to seperate art from artist.

I also had a point in my life where I was buddies with Brian from Dresden Dolls and am currently mulling over "how could you have spent years doing one of two things - either SOMEHOW not having any idea how shitty Amanda is, or knowing and continuing to work with her?" Cause it's one of the two. Either ignorance or moral cowardice. And you don't spend a decade plus working with someone WITHOUT their shittiness being addressed.
