Barbra Streisand can sing and act. Hitler could paint. What's your point? That true "artistes" have a higher calling and thus immunity from any responsibility for the words they use? I'd argue the opposite. They have a greater responsibility for the work they do today because they are made "idols" in our culture - afforded power and influence far beyond reason.

Sorry but they do not have any responsibility because of the fame and role-model status thrust upon them. You think the Marilyn Mansons of the world care? Should he? Absolutely not. they are what they are. If you like it, great. If not, don't partake. If someone is "moved" to act in a certain way because of the music they hear or the art that they look at, that is their choice. Not the artists.
