I can say that, if Lee was a pedo, I would certainly still listen to SY, but I probably wouldn't embrace them as much as I do. For me, it's hard to separate the artist from the art, and if I met SY and they turned out to be child molesting sociopaths with inferiorty complexes, I wouldn't listen to them nearly as much. For me, I think that some of the best artists have good character and integrity as well as skill in their craft, otherwise they would just be self-obsessed douches.
