On this episode of Terms and Conditions, John Cash takes on one of culture's most debated questions and refuses to throw every controversy into one pot. A criminal conviction is not a civil verdict. A civil verdict is not an unresolved allegation. And an offensive comment is not violence.
In this episode: • The four levels of "separating the art": private nostalgia, financial support, public celebration, and erasing the misconduct • Five questions to ask before you hit play • When the work becomes evidence: R. Kelly, Diddy, and Bill Cosby • Chris Brown and whether time passing equals growth • Vince McMahon, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj: power, speech, and fan loyalty • Cardi B, Lizzo, Doja Cat, and gender-selective outrage • Elvis, Morgan Wallen, Mel Gibson, and Michael Vick: who America allows to be "complicated" • The loopholes, the John Cash Clause, and the official determination
Your terms: Can you separate the art from the artist? And which artist do you struggle with the most? Tell John on social or leave a review.
