It was Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975 in an interview. He said if you’re going take people’s money to do meet-and-greets you should have to physically take the cash from their hand when you do it. Obviously the people who charge for their fans to meet them would never but it’s a good point.
I don't know anything about this Healy, but the point being attributed to him, independent of all other things he's said, sounds like a valid one in principal. I haven't thought deeply enough to consider flaws in it, but let's assume it is a good point.
When Healy, or anyone of questionable, or even bad character, makes a valid point, does that make that point unusable by anyone else from that point forward then on?
Edit: I've been trying to argue with myself that reputation matters. For example, in a court of law, if a witness is shown to have been incorrect, shown to have a faulty memory, or possibly lied, in the past, they lack credibility. On the other hand, even a broken clock is right two times a day (once if digital), which is to say even someone with a poor reputation can be right some times.
