Anyway, it's kind of a ridiculous question, don't you think? What you're essentially asking is if there are any recording artists without personal issues. Hell, can you name somebody without a recording contract who doesn't have personal life issues?


no that's not the point- the point is that somehow we don't realise who we are letting into our space through music.

i'm sure I don't know the backgrounds of various artist.

we wouldn't let 98% of them babysit our children- but would we hang out with them?
[Edited 7/18/08 14:12pm]

I have friends with any combination of:

1. Criminal scandals.
2. Drug or alcohol abuse.
3. Date or marry another friend's ex.
4. Have weight issues.(obesity,bulimia, anorexia, etc).
5. Suicide attempts.
6. Have STD's.
7. Diagnosed or known symptoms of mental illness.

So if I have friends with some of those, then I can only say that presumably I wouldn't rule out "hanging out" with a performer because they had one or more of the above.

he may have had STDs, but they weren't publicized and they were most certainly organic and vegan STDs.

I read on some groupie site that he does have an STD.

How about Atlantic Star? I don't know much about them, but they didn't seem scandalous??

Cyndi Lauper?? She doesn't seem to be a headcase...

Rere?





pre-spaghetti strap scandals


She suffered physical abuse by her first husband.
She struggled with alcoholism until the 1980s.
Has struggled with her weight since the 1970s.
There's questions about her relationship with her father and the parentage of her first son, Clarence.


Is the question of parentage of Clarence related to her relationship with her father? eek

Yep. I would wanna think that Aretha named her first after her father but when little information is guaranteed you can believe anything.

Besides C.L. was caught with a 13-year-old girl himself. She was the reason Aretha's parents divorced.

I think most of U2 with the exception of Adam Clayton have been clean. Even the Edge has a clean record, lol.

The story goes that they were already separated. Regardless, doesn't fit under any of the seven criteria.

Yes, even his crabs are well mannered and groomed.

When they do go drilling it's only with sterilized clippers and at least 2 disease-free blood tests.

she went through a whole period of public meltdowns, so that blows the whole mental health thing out of the water. maybe she's better now, though.
