      Neil Gaiman makes a reference to that in Neverwhere, using ‘TV tuned to a dead channel’ to describe a cloudless blue sky.

          Never turn people into heroes, it’s an unearned pedestal. People who create works of art are expressing their ideals not their reality.

          Separate the art from the artist, and if you do not wish to enrich the artist, then torrent their works

            Which is why I only own one Gaiman book, and even that was a gift. Even streaming music made by cunts feels bad nowadays… but I remind myself that there’s thousands others out there… so I just block the cunts and move on. (Black metal especially has quite a bit of nazis, unfortunately)
