Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. “At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage…”

R. L. Burnside killed a man “possibly at a craps game.”

Varg of Mayhem Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.

I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.

    Cheb Khaled, one of my favorite singers since I was a kid, fleed from France to Morocco after France legalized LGBTQ marriage.

        Desperately trying to find that meme of Bernie Sanders where he says that he’ll make gay marriage mandatory if he becomes president. “And if you’re not gay, too bad. I’m your husband now and we’re in LLLLOOOOOVVVEEEEE”

          I’m sure I saw a hilarious skit similar to this, where some redneck dude reads that gay marriage is legalised and he is all ‘well shit, now I have to marry a man. I don’t even like men! Well I guess it will have to be my buddy Pete.’ and no one can convince him that that’s not what the law means.

      I have never heard of that guy before three minutes ago, but your comment intrigued me and I couldn’t figure out why gay marriage legalization would make someone “flee” the country. So I looked at wikipedia. Supposedly the reason he left seems to be more related to legal issues involving his not paying child support, and it was to Luxembourg not Morocco.

      It’s a pretty short article and maybe there’s an escape to Morocco as well that just didn’t make it into the article.
