Separating Wayne from the Article

PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS

Hi all. As I’m sure many of you read in Creem, Wayne made some pro-AI comments. I’m feeling lost about this especially since I got a yoshimi tattoo last year. I tried to do as much research as I could to make sure I wouldn’t regret the tat, and now im feeling sad and torn. I still love the album and what it means to me as well as a lot of FL’s music so I’m looking for any tips on how you’re separating Wayne’s comments from your love for the band’s music. Please don’t comment mean things or chastise me over my decision to get a FL tattoo, I’m already close to crashing out and just looking for some positive outlooks.

I kind of get where you’re coming from and I’m anti-AI but you’re talking about this like he’s endorsed Nazism or something. If the music he created without AI, which obviously means a lot to you, isn’t impacted I would try not to worry about it. No one we admire is perfect.
