What's Sauce For The Goose...

[poliphilo]

We received a belated Christmas card this morning featuring a woodcut by Eric Gill- the sculptor and polemicist- who was also a sex abuser of Savilian shamelessness. Apparently the dodginess of the artist hasn't tainted the art.

Same seems to be true of the movies of Roman Polanski.

It's a generous doctrine. I like it. We should apply it across the board.

So, are you ready?

All together now,

"Tie me kangaroo down, sport,
Tie me kangaroo down..."

We have a giant sculpture by Gill in our university building foyer, depicting Jesus ejecting the money lenders.

Phil Spector's murder conviction doesn't seem to have prompted a purge of his work from the airwaves.
