I was reading this article from 1970 and he’s obviously a complicated dude: https://archive.is/POtvB

The lyrics are a little haunting and I’ve never heard it before.

    I mean yeah, Chuck Berry used to fart on women’s faces while they were tossing his salad without consent as well, and that’s pretty fucked up. But reading the descriptions of the videos of R Kelly pissing on minors faces was just way way fucked up. Wouldn’t be able to listen to any song without thinking of all the fucked up things he’s done to other people.

      Yeah there are definitely levels. Louis C.K. makes me feel weird, I think he’s funny and I think what he did was wrong but not on the level of R. Kelly or actual sexual criminals. Then the R Kelly stuff happens and it makes you re-evaluate the entire Leaderboard of ‘fucked up celebrity shit’.
