Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. "At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage..."

R. L. Burnside killed a man "possibly at a craps game."

Varg of Mayhem Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.

I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.

Yeah that's how many viewed it in Texas afaik, growing up it was more a "rebel" flag then a, "I'm a racist piece of shit who wants the south to rise again" flag.

Still probably better to leave it in the past.
