Not the subject of kiddy-diddling being bad, obviously. Just that, for some reason, music is the only art form where everything you write is taken to mean a first person perspective. Even if you have written about a fictional character and you sing in character, you still get judged as if "you" are the one talking/singing. The famous example is Money for nothing by Dire Straits, but i could probably find many more. I kind of want music to be able to tell stories, including those about bad people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago For instance, Into the Night was written by the person saying to leave the 16 year old alone in the incident that inspired the song. permalink fedilink source parent
