When Is It A Good Time To Critique An Artist?

(RECORDED ON MAY 29, 2023) After a ton of mishaps and mental health episodes, we finally have this episode up!!!  jesse and jamilah felt inspired to discuss this after the physical transition of Tina Turner, given a few anti-African stances she took throughout her life.  While these things were known by some prior to her passing, many opined that addressing her contradictions was inappropriate because, well...  she's Tina Turner!  We must remember that she was human, just like any of us who do not share her fame or financial status.  No one, regardless of celebrity status or amount of income they make should ever be immune from critique, whether they are physically on this earth, or not.  In this episode we also discuss William 'Smokey' Robinson and his latest album, Gasms.  We discuss portions of his memoir, the ageism surrounding reactions to the album, and more. (Note:  The audio got kind of messed up between the 51-54 minute mark; we hope that doesn't take too much away from the content!  Thanks!)
