Some sort of privilege, perhaps?

Carte blanche, ironically.

MJ is interesing. Clearly half-cancelled - not played nearly as much as he used to be - but clearly not entirely cancelled.
But also, when someone's dead so they're not benefiting from airplay, and when their material doesn't sound weirdly inappropriate (no "Sweet Little Sixteen" or "She Was Just Seventeen - if you know what I mean" or that sort of thing), there's the question of why you'd feel a need to remove their stuff. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, don't listen, but it's hard to know why, say, Billie Jean shouldn't be played.

Yeah, it's odd, given that Rolf and Jimmy have to have their faced blurred on the BBC now. They don't blur Hitler's face and, arguably, he's more triggering.

Why hadn't MJ been cancelled? I am pretty sure he was on his way but then he had the foresight to die.

I think the quality of the art is, at least, part of the story. Jimmy and Rolf didn't leave a meaningful legacy of material that might stand the test of time. Also, much of Jimmy's legacy is footage of him "Fixing It" with young children on his knee, which is pretty clearly correlated to his crimes.

Rolf was a renaissance man. MJ never painted squat and, if he did, you couldn't see what it was then or now.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Pretty decent albeit plot holes

I quite liked that. Very good spesh effies in making the ruined cities look realistic.

I've hardly watched TV for weeks now, just a bit of news now and then, considering not getting it when we move, might keep a bit of streaming for the occasional film, but not sure I need TV anymore.

Presumably the smug "comedian" David Mitchell (who I do not understand the love for) not the clever Japan-obsessed novelist David Mitchell (who is great)

Watched a bit of TV tonight, A Quiet Place Day One, entertainment enough, though the whole concept for this franchise has always been stupid
