Serge Gainsbourg - Yay or Nay?
Look there are a lot of levels to this
Serge was Jewish, and showed up during the first day of Vichy Jewish Registration to register himself This is badass At the same time, he took up with Brigette Bardot, who was a noted Vichy-supporting Nazi And yet he didn't connect beyond sex with her But he was what the #metoo (and I) would describe as "Gender Violent" He sexually violated Whitney Houston ON NATIONAL FUCKING TV With his words -- BUT THAT STILL COUNTS In fact, it may be the worst But at the same time, he did some amazing musical things I am torn as whether I should toss him to the pyre or accept it as the part of a time and place? Please tell me

1. Have you seen the salacious video he did with
His daughter? Things were wild back then, but even then it was.... offensive.
I am not going to link to it. You can Google "Lemon Incest" but the title tells it all. |

5. Yup, just read about the daughter.
Fucked up is right.
However, she seems to have survived it and has an Israeli-French partner and three kids. |

3. Considering Bardot was 6 years old at the rise of Vichy France,
I don’t really see how she could have been a Vichy supporter of the Nazis.
Serge was 12 at that time. Not sure what you meant with that. |

9. Can I say some people are assholes and I dislike them at a personal level
but consider their music to be a different matter?
Ryan Adams, for example, seems very much like not a good guy when it comes to females ... but I love a ton of his earlier music, and always will. |

11. He sang "Je t'aime" with Jane Birkin, which will always have a special place...
....in the heart of a kid going through puberty, though.
