Serge Gainsbourg - Yay or Nay? [View all]

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
