It's hard to look but even harder to look away, isn't it? That's what "ugly beauty" is all about, and we all, like the grungy-ass fly above, possess both -- beauty and ugliness. With that in mind, this week's podcast explores a handful of music's most infamous -- should the crimes/ugliness they've committed overshadow the beauty they've contributed to music and culture? Or should we forgive no matter what? Give a listen and tell me what you think.
