| Kind of ties in with the sad case of Chris Benoit. I think in Benoit's case it is impossible for me to watch his work in the future and not think of what he apparently did, and how his life ended. It is much the same with O.J. Simpson, I can't see film of him playing football or in a movie and not be reminded of what he got away with. With Jim it would be different, other people are recording his work (except for BFG) and most people don't know about him that hear the songs so few would notice. We don't see Jim like those other public figures so I think it would be a sad reminder for those of us who do know but I think I could separate the art from the man & his actions. In fairness to Jim I think he could shoot at least 50. > and guns down 47 people with an Uzi.
