Sorry for the recent lack of posts...I was swamped with interviews for my R. Kelly story that ran on the front page of today's paper. Read it here.
No, I didn't get to interview the Pied Piper of R&B. Sorry. Instead, the interview is about what division, if any, exists between an artist's private life and public persona.
The issue comes into play given the child pornography charges R. Kelly currently faces. Locally, a few people say the legal controversy makes them unable to appreciate him as an entertainer. Most, however, say what an artist does in private has no bearing on his/her value as an entertainer.
Where do you stand? Is there any crime that would make you lose total acceptance of your favorite singer or movie star ?
(The R. Kelly show is 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Columbus Civic Center. Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo and J. Holiday will open. Tickets are $42.50, $52.50 and $62.50. Get more info here.)
