All,
This is what we've been trying to convey all along; namely, that just because someone knows better doesn't mean they'll do better. That just because someone is a successful, admired musician it doesn't follow that they won't screw up.

So David Ellefson is human, and messed up. Who doesn't? As Snider alludes to in the interview, do we cancel all artists, and their art, when they mess up?

I contend no.
