Disagree to your heart's content; It's a truism and everybody knows.I disagree. I used to love his stand up as a kid. Can't separate the man from the art though. He's a shitbag, and deserves what he got. That's how he'll be remembered. A talented artist who unfortunately was a bag of shit.
Bill Cosby on Twitter
Bill Cosby seems to want people to remember him as America's dad.
This is so tone deaf it is funny.
As a disgusting, predatory rapist. He used his (C-level) celebrity to exploit and intimidate women. Cowardly, execrable, and vile.
Incidentally, he never was funny, even for a second. His sophomoric schtick failed to elicit even a chuckle from me, and I rode in a car where someone played two hours of his stand up on the tape player (it was a long time ago). Best insomnia cure ever.
Regardless of his comic ability (or lack thereof), it doesn't excuse his behavior.
Bill Cosby is going to jail for sexual assault.
I think we all agree that he is guilty and should go to jail for even longer than the sentence he was given, but I'm curious how people will remember him.
He did horrible things, but also a lot of good and promoted a positive image of black people during a time when that kind imagery was very rare.
How do you think Cosby will be remembered? How should he be remembered?
EDIT: I hit submit way too early. LOL
He was an a-list celebrity who had multiple successful TV shows and one of the most celebrated stand up careers of all time. He was a monster, but that doesn't mean we should try and rewrite history.
So did 99% of
Probably along with 99% of the drug induced bands from that era.
...Was the screaming about the music? The bare chests, the girly looks, I still wonder.
I couldn't hear the music.........just the screaming , all I know is if I were up there I'd be shitting in my pants if not for the security..
