Michael Jackson’s biopic is set to make $150m. Welcome to the Great Uncancelling

Once, ‘cancel culture’ could scupper a career; now it seems stars are re-emerging from the woodwork for a second helping of adoration

I hope that article is regretted (and soon).

Strikingly, another biopic, this one of another 80s shitass, Prince, was suppressed by Netflix. That corporation chose to stop its own movie from airing because an ex girlfriend talked about how Prince liked to punch her in the face. Maybe they can partner with Vance and buy up all copies of Sinead O'Connor's memoir to coverup Prince attacking her, too.

Jackson, Prince, John Lennon, etc...other artists, writers...the art, often good (in Jackson's case usually Quincy Jones's), but at its summit, never good enough to condone the hero worship or articles like the above.
